Three months have passed since we posted our stories and folded up the tents. We've gotten a lot of great feedback and some good exposure, and we thank everyone who took the time to click on our work.

We've all moved on to other things now – internships, jobs, finishing up degrees and starting toward new ones. As our time in the woods of Washington fades into memory, though, it's hard to forget the personal stories we heard from the men and women who have served our country.

Our content — stories, graphics, photos and videos — explores the effects of war on a nation by examining one cluster of classic, small-town communities in rural Washington state, about three hours north of Spokane.

Our site goes live early August, with in-depth stories, photo galleries and slideshows, videos and interactive graphics. Our team of 10 journalists from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications embedded for a month and a half here in rural, northeastern Washington state, a spot rich in military service to our country. It was a living lab, a place to explore an important question: How have wars past and present changed lives — forever?

All of us with our K Diamond K friends!

Well, last week we packed up and moved out of the K Diamond K bunkhouse, where we had been living for nearly seven weeks. 

Now we're back in Syracuse, working in a windowless, fluorescent-lit room in Newhouse. Don't get me wrong, the computer labs at the university are fantastic, but nothing compares to working in a window-filled room surrounded by beautiful mountainous landscapes.

Today is our last full day in the woods of Washington state.  In thinking about how much I'll miss this beautiful place, I'm happy that we've spent so much of the last week really appreciating our surroundings. In creating our piece about the land, no seemingly impossible scenario or shot idea has stopped us from getting some beautiful footage.
