Gotta Love Technology

By Truth in Miscellaneous

I just saw an article on Fox News website about a Marine who was able to see his child born thanks to streaming video over a webcam. I thought it was a nice story to see. I know so many of those troops are not only in a high stress environment the likes of which many of us will never know, but many of them miss out on life back at home. Away from their young children missing some pretty special moments. I know it's not the same as being there, but it's pretty cool how technology can make moments like this happen.

That's a great thing for our soldiers. It's bad enough they're stuck in a place they really shouldn't have to be, the last thing they need is to miss all the wonderful things happening where they belong, you know? I remember watching the new Transformers movie and when i saw the videophone call between the soldier and his wife and daughter, I thought about that a lot. Soldiers sacrifice more than a civilian could ever know in order to do what they do, and even if my personal beliefs don't jive with their work all the time, I do appreciate their dedication and willingness to go and do what I could not. Congratulations to that new father, and I hope he gets home soon to hold the newest addition to his family.
