As Brian mentioned in his vlog, he'll take you to a Joint Security Station on tonight's broadcast. Yesterday, correspondent Richard Engel was at a another JSS in Western Baghdad called Bonsai II. By design, the conditions are very spartan. The U.S. and Iraqi forces who serve there no longer have access to phones or the Internet, and they say they're experiencing a hidden casualty of this war -- strained relationships with their families back at home.

Richard, That was so touching hearing Command Staff Sgt. Albert McCall speak about his children. How the young child believes that his daddy is out there by himself breaks my heart. It is always nice to hear the human side of this war and not just the daily battles. It was sweet to hear how he receives pictures to put up on his wall and other messages from his family. Reminding him of home. Having someone in your heart always you will never be without them no matter whevever they may be. I hope he gets to come home soon. Thank you Richard for that touching conversation. Everyone please stay safe and well!
