Where’s news from Southeast?

I am e-mailing you in regard to your "American Roundup" articles.

I have been reading the Mideast edition for several weeks now, since I discovered someone posts them on SIPRNET (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network), and haven’t yet seen one article on Tennessee.

I started to wonder, being from Tennessee that is, how many articles you guys do on the Southeast in general. Looking back I found that almost none of the articles are about the Southeast. In fact, I noticed that a lot of the smaller states are the only ones recognized, with the exception of Texas.

Also having been in the Army for a few years and asking around, I noticed that a large majority of the Army comes from the Southeast. So, about two-thirds of my unit and I feel abandoned at the lack of support of news from where we came from.

Is there any way I could convince you to give us a morale boost and show us some support?
