The Afghan women are very influential in their communities. Talking to them is a very powerful way to get information spread throughout the province. "They are very concerned about security within the province, said Captain Kekic. " They are just like us in that they want their roads to be free of bombs. They do not want their families hurt or killed by the violence." Staff Sgt. Julie Weckerlein)(released)
