 It's the season when many people are heading to the airport, but not everyone is going home for the holidays. I'm Devap Fenty in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. PFC Tyler Lauer is one of 68,000-plus soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines who will be spending this holiday season deployed to Afghanistan. Not to mention those serving in Africa, Kuwait, and all around the globe. It's going to be my first Christmas away from home. I'm pretty young and it's definitely weird being away from my family for a whole Christmas. And many of those soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who do deploy come through the gateway to Europe, Ramstein. It's a pleasure. Giselle Bendell and her son, Andres, are spreading holiday cheer throughout Ramstein's passenger terminal with a program called Project Rudolph. We actually really like to give the back to each soldier and say thank you for protecting us to each of them, even though sometimes I don't understand him. Project Rudolph volunteers make sure service members are sent down range with a token of appreciation. It was really, really nice seeing little kids come out and give us bags and candy and really show that they took the time to color and it's really appreciated to know that we're thought of. Here on Ramstein, Project Rudolph volunteers planned to hand out nearly 6,000 bags filled with goodies this holiday season. Army Sergeant Abigail Waldrip, Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
