If a member of your family is currently serving in our military, and has access to the internet and Skype, click on the graphic above. We want to help!
In 1997, our small Post launched it's first website. We have a long digital history. Now, the G.I. Joe folks think a webcam for families of our troops is a logical extension of that tradition. It is our sincere wish that we will be joined by others, to connect our troops and their familites.
We believe there can be no better use for this technology, than making it possible for our serving military to see and speak to their families at home.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
~John Stuart Mill

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
~Ronald Reagan
