Hi, I am writing this for my 12 year son Logan. He is in the 6th grade in Ohio. He has chosen to do his big project on Desert Storm. He would really like to interview someone if anyone would be willing to help out and answer some questions he came up with. I will post what he has written down and any other information you might want to add would be very grateful.
Thanks!!
Annie
