According to Technorati, twenty-two bloggers--the vast majority of whom first visited in the last week and seem to have no connection to the U.S. military or milblogging--have now linked to Talking with Heroes, including a number of foreign-language blogs. Of course, there are likely more who have linked but don't use Technorati.
One blog in particular caught my eye, one from Portugal. The blogger's post was highlighted with that wonderful header picture of a half-dozen American soldiers' faces from TWH and contained the following text (translated below):

Visitem, POR FAVOR, http://talkingwithheroes.blogspot.com/ e leiam na primeira pessoa o que significa para esta gente estar num cenário de guerra...
Because behind the notices of the press, of the revolt, of the rage, of the news reports of last hour and of the follies of president Bush, men and women are in uniform...
Visit, PLEASE, http: // talkingwithheroes.blogspot.com / and read in the first person what it means for these people to be in a war zone...
I think that's just a lovely testament to the effectiveness of Bob's attempts to put a face on the good work of American military personnel. I'm honored to be associated with him.
