Hi Jo, thanks for your time on SOFREP! We hear you loud and clear. We’ve done a couple of previews in Team Room, and our profile video is GROM. You can expect to see the series launch on SOFREP in January, 2014. “Jo, the process is slow because we have to work with the GROM on post production to maintain OPSEC”-Brandon

The Sofrep TV series “Heroes of U.S. Special Operations” is that a series that is done or will be added to annually? I’m curious because it was published around Veterans Day, and I’m sure there are great stories to be told.
P.S. What happened to Bill Janson? He was a big contributor to the site and I miss his view points.

Hi Chris, we produced Heroes of U.S. Special Operations series to publish around Veterans Day, 2012. The purpose was to tell the reasons and motivations that Nada Bakos, Jack Murphy, Bill Janson, Brandon Webb and Dan Lake our country, and importantly, to tell the stories of some friends and mentors who gave all. We honestly have never discussed doing anything more with this particular video series, but I think that, as a result of this project, Brandon realized that he wanted to write a book about some of his brothers. So, the project will extend beyond the videos and continue on for years to come in one form or another.
Regarding Bill Janson – I know! We miss him too! Bill is still around, but he’s just really busy with his company (I think that’s called ‘supporting the family and paying the bills…’).

Devin Deweerdt, a 20-year-old mortarman with 3rd Platoon, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and native of Riverton, Utah, writes his wife a letter in his sleeping area after a day of work here, Feb. 26. On his second deployment to Afghanistan, Deweerdt tackles an exhaustive daily schedule of foot patrolling and standing guard duty. When his work is done, he returns to his small patrol base, where he lives without internet or phones. Before the Marine left home, he and his wife resolved to handwrite each other a letter for each day they’re apart. Four months into his deployment, Deweerdt is still writing. Every night, he sits on a green fold-up cot in his tent, places a sheet of notepaper on his black storage container, dons a pair of headphones and escapes into a letter.)
