For everyone who wants to understand more about the feelings of a veteran who is away for the holidays involved in a combat mission, Joe provides insights about what it is like to be in a combat mission far from home over the holidays. He talks about the military environment and how the military makes great efforts to help members of all religions to experience some of the traditions associated with their religious beliefs. And while it is quite different than being at home with family there is a lot that people at home can do to make it meaningful. Learn about “flat daddies” and how they are a tool to help young children stay connected to their fathers who are away on military service.

The show originally aired in two parts in December 2010 and in January 2011.
