A Letter from Iraq: Staff Sgt. William Dow

It's Friday, the day we check in with the men and women from the New Hampshire National Guard serving in Iraq.

Members of the 36-43rd Company have been in Iraq guarding a detention center in Baghdad since late last year.

Some of the soldiers are actually guarding inmates, others have supportive roles.

NHPR's Mark Bevis spoke with Staff Sergeant William Dow.

Dow lives in Merrimack with his wife and two stepchildren. He works full time for the Guard in Concord as a computer guy.

He does the same job in Baghdad.
