GLOWPOINT TO PARTICIPATE IN HOLIDAY “FREEDOM CALLS” TO THE TROOPS
In conjunction with its partners MSpace and TANDBERG, seven locations provided across the nation for families to place video calls to their loved ones deployed in Iraq
HILLSIDE, N.J. December 3, 2007 – Glowpoint, along with partners MSpace and TANDBERG, announced today that they will partner with the Freedom Calls Foundation, a non-profit organization, to provide free videoconferences for military families in the U.S. with their loved ones stationed in Iraq on Thursday, December 13, 2007 over the Freedom Calls satellite network. The combined effort is titled, “Mission: See Your Soldier.”
Country music icon and military supporter Charlie Daniels traveled abroad in 2005 and 2006 visiting Iraq and Kuwait to perform for U.S. Troops as part of the Stars for Stripes tour. During the 2006 tour, while The CDB was performing at some of the camps that will host the videoconferencing, the shows were recorded for the Blue Hat/Koch Records release Live From Iraq which contains a DVD of never before seen footage from Iraq. “I am deeply honored that I will be able to take part in the “Mission: See Your Soldier” project and make video calls to the troops stationed in Iraq. I am happy to be a part of bringing families together at Christmas time especially when their loved ones are so far away protecting our country and our freedom,” says Daniels.
Families in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, Minnesota, and California will have the chance to visit – face-to-face – with their deployed loved one in a private, 30-minute “See Your Soldier” videoconference at Freedom Calls Centers located at five military installations in Iraq: Camp Al Asad, Camp Taji, Camp Fallujah, Camp Victory (limited capability), and Camp Taqaddum.
If you are interested or know a family with loved ones stationed at these five installations in Iraq, please contact Christopher Welch, executive coordinator, at cwelch@glowpoint.com or at (866) 456-9764 x 2002 no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 7 to reserve your time.

The Foundation provides services to more than 40,000 soldiers and marines - free of charge - 24 hours per day, and the Army has requested that the foundation install eight additional facilities in Iraq and two in Afghanistan in the coming months, including more than 2,000 enterprise class video conferences from homes, medical centers, and churches every month. The Foundation is authorized by the Secretary of the Army to provide communications services to the troops and their families and recently received a Commendation from the Army, a personal letter of appreciation from Major General Taguba, and personal thanks from President Bush at The White House. The Freedom Calls Foundation is supported solely by donations of corporations and the American people through the foundation’s website (www.freedomcalls.org). The Foundation urgently needs funding to continue to bring families together. It faces having to close operations at the end of the month if funds are not raised.
