Dog Company heroics on PBS documentary




Company of Soldiers
an October Films production for WGBH/FRONTLINE and BBC



Mark your calendars for Tuesday night, PBS.

American troops in Iraq—battling a deadly insurgency—face the
risk of death or serious injury every day. In November 2004, a FRONTLINE team
embedded itself with the soldiers of the 8th Cavalry's Dog Company in South
Baghdad, powerfully documenting a controversial war through the eyes of the men
and women fighting it.

In "A Company of Soldiers," airing Tuesday, February 22, at
9 P.M. on PBS (check local listings), FRONTLINE goes beyond the daily headlines
from the war in Iraq to document the day-to-day realities of a life-and-death
military mission that also includes rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, promoting
its economic development, and building positive relations with its people.
