CBS) It's a long way from Louisiana to Baghdad, and it's a long way from a sorority house to a little radio station in the Iraqi capital.

But, reports co-anchor Harry Smith on The Early Show Thursday, Army Specialist Kristen King has the patter and personality to make soldiers far from home feel like they're listening to the girl next door.

She left Louisiana State University and her sorority house to join the Army. Now, after only a month on Armed Forces Radio in the Iraqi capital, King is already one of the troops' favorite disc jockeys.

Sorority girl or not, she's sacrificing more for her country than 99% of the people out there- God bless her.

Stay safe and go kick some terrorist ass!

BTW - I'll be the first to post that there is a mandatory "picture post rule" for anything related to sorority girls...no matter what the subject.

God bless her. I have a fond spot in my heart for LSU sorority girls. Probably because I was an LSU student a long time ago. Never joined a fraternity but they let me date them anyway. Love those dark haired cajun girls.

I think she's doing a great job and it's wonderful that so many brave young Americans are experiencing first hand what I miss by not having her home. Her personality, charm, charisma, laugh, and yes, good ole' southern hospitality. Of course I'm a little bias, I'm her Dad.
