DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Robin Meade, anchor for "HLN's Morning Express with Robin Meade" and a crew from Turner Broadcasting System cable network taped intro segments for her Veteran's Day "Salute to Troops" special here Oct. 27.

"We came to Dobbins because it is conveniently located in the city," said Bryan Simmons, special projects producer from HLN. "It is comfortable here and the aircraft give a unique view of the military we have yet to capture."

Since this summer, Cable News Network traveled with Robin Meade to visit servicemembers, military bases and military colleges. Her special military-tribute newscast will air on Veteran's Day. "This is something we do every year," said Meade.
