It might be a bit off topic but it is a really
great idea. Do servicemen ever get access to the Internet? Could
someone's family vlog in Indiana and be seen by them in Iraq? I really
have no idea as to whether the Internet reaches almost everywhere or not.
I assume that where there are phone lines, there should be access to the
Internet.

Back Home Vlog
I won't go into the political side of this, and this may be
a bit
off-topic, but here's something GREAT you can do for soldiers that
are currently in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere...
Do you work
with someone who is deployed right now? Visit with
their team, and
bring your movie camera (or, in my case, my Sony
M1). Ask his team
members to say hello, tell him what's been going
on, and that they miss
him. Take short clips--less than 30
seconds. Then walk around
work and take some pictures... for me,
our campus is 20-something
buildings, so there's all kinds of neat
things to take pictures of that
will make a soldier remember home--
the cafeteria, maybe the smoking area
;) etc.
Then put all that footage on a DVD, find out their
mailing address,
and mail it to them. I guarantee they will
cry.
I have done it for two guys who work for my company, neither of
which I had even ever met in person, and they both contacted me when
they came home, and said how thankful they
were.
