http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/06/14/soldiers_find_link_to_wed_across_globe/In a small video conference ceremony spanning some 7,261 miles, two members of the Massachusetts Army National Guard tied the knot this weekend, the bride in Iraq and the groom in Colorado.
''These people have been estranged from their families during war time," said John Harlow, executive director of New York-based Freedom Calls Foundation, a charity that plans to set up facilities for video conferencing throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. ''We're now enabling them to participate in these milestone family events through new technology."
A sad, but sweet story.
