Dear Robin Young and Here and Now,

Waking to NPR and our morning paper, there was paltry or non-existent
coverage of today’s 10th anniversary of our invasion of Afghanistan. I was
grateful to hear Michael Sheridan talking about the Fruits of Our Labor set
of documentaries on Here and Now, putting a human face on a people plagued by and coping with this war that seems to never end.

Best,
Susanne Slavick
