As Tech. Sgt. Christopher Harry talks through a long-distance phone line, his family and girlfriend listen in on Christmas Eve. From left to right are Sergeant Harry's mother, Susan; father, William, and girlfriend, Valerie Sicard. The three gathered at the Westover Public Affairs Office for a conference call with the 42nd Aerial Port Squadron Airman, who is deployed to Southwest Asia over the holidays.
