Times have changed. Years ago, the only way to see the face of a loved one stationed overseas in the military was a photograph in the mail that possibly didn’t make it. Now, it’s easier than ever through the use of the internet, webcams, and a few generous websites who are trying to help the cause. The North Shore’s biggest newspaper, the Salem News, has hopped on to this bandwagon with their Service Greetings. Their service allows families to send video messages to their loved ones, and they act as the middleman. You can view messages and find out how to make your own by visiting http://www.salemnews.com/servicegreetings.
