MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - From his post in Iraq, Marine Sgt. Chad Matthews watched by video as his wife, Cynthia, gave birth in a Mobile hospital, a heartwarming connection that hasn't been possible in past wars.
Freedom Calls Foundation, a New Jersey-based charity born in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, makes the video hookups available for milestone events to thousands of military families.
Ideally, Freedom Calls founder and Executive Director John B. Harlow II said coverage would be expanded so that every soldier coming in from a day's duty could talk to his or her family back home.
