Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, wives, and children who had not seen their loved ones in person in months have gotten the next best thing, as more than 1,000 family members have participated in free, private videoconferencing sessions that allowed them to see and talk to soldiers stationed at Al Asad Airbase, Camp Taji/Cooke, Camp Baharia, Camp Taqaddum and Camp Victory in Iraq. We are now accepting registration for the See Your Soldier event for January 12 and 13. You can register here. Corporal Kevin Bein (on screen), a third generation Marine serving with an air unit at Camp Al-Asad, talks with family members from the Champaign area, including his uncle, an Illinois National Guardsman who has himself recently returned from Iraq, and his grandfather, Ed Bein Sr, also a veteran. |
