Commander, chaplain talk about stress of holidays

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- The holiday season is almost upon us and while many deployed Airmen are busy trying to find creative ways to brighten the season while away from loved ones, some Airmen may find themselves wrestling with a combination of stressors during the 40 or so days between Thanksgiving and the New Year.
