Local Soldiers Overseas Send Holiday Greetings to Their Families Back Home

Even from halfway across the globe, Misty Morrisonstone's words are pretty powerful.

Simply put, the sargeant first class officer in the Army - currently serving in Camp Arifjan, Kuwait - wants to say hello to her family in Auburn, Wash.

Morrisonstone is one of more than 100 soldiers from Washington, many of whom are from the South Sound, who were allowed to record video messages for family through the Department of Defense.

While there are no soldiers listed with direct ties to Enumclaw, Buckley or Black Diamond, there are several from Auburn and numerous postings are linked to Fort Lewis.
