Faced with extended tours of duty, our front line soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are not able to speak with members of their families for months at a time. This breakdown of family communication needlessly contributes to the stress experienced by our soldiers and their mothers, fathers, wives, husbands and children at home.

Throughout history, tours of duty in wartime have served to separate families.  We are deploying state-of-the art technology to transform the experience of soldiers on extended deployments to war zones.   Soldiers may now attend and participate in milestone family events such as graduations, births, birthdays and weddings etc. via video conference over the Freedom Calls Network.  One Army General recently observed that our effort represents the single greatest boost in morale for the troops in the past 25 years
