Week 3: Afghan People Working With Soldiers

We are proud here at Q13 FOX News to share with you a special series of reports on the soldiers of Fort Lewis . It's a project we call: "From The Front Line."

In June, I met Pierce College Professor and Freelance Photographer John Simpson. Back then, I interviewed him on his extraordinary efforts to capture the stories of our men and women overseas.

For the past 4 years he's been embedding with Fort Lewis soldiers, first traveling to Iraq and now to Afghanistan.

He is sending us his amazing pictures -- along with the names of the soldiers he photographs and personal notes and observations. It is an inspiring, and at times intimate look, at the soldiers who are risking their lives to protect our country.

To all of the men and women in uniform, we here at Q13Fox News wish you the best and a safe trip home.
