Bergquist family drives $10 calls to bridge war divide
Army Lt Col Joe Yoswa notes soldiers can use military phone banks and Internet cafes but pay costs themselves. The Bergquists travel to states delivering 100 minute global calling cards to soldiers bound for Iraq, citing fear and distance. They share emails from families grateful for contact, including a Fort Stewart wife whose husband heads to Iraq in January.
