Montana company, Vision Net and nonprofit link soldiers in Iraq with families in U.S.
| October 12, 2007 |  View for printing |
Troops in Iraq have seen their babies being born, visited one last time with dying loved ones, watched their children get married and discussed the car insurance bill.
No life event is too big - or too mundane - for Vision Net http://www.vision.net , or for the military personnel who use the Montana company's videoconferencing to peer into their stateside lives from Iraq.
From five military camps in Iraq, thousands of soldiers have connected with loved ones in real time and with stunning clarity and speed, all for free, thanks to the services of the Freedom Calls Foundation, a nonprofit that arranges videoconferences between Iraq and the U.S.
In Montana, Vision Net, a communications technology and videoconferencing company based in Great Falls, has partnered with Freedom Calls since 2004 to give Montanans serving in Iraq a taste of home sweet home.
