down the big screen in the reception room, leaving only
his feeder screen on. Bergman's wife and children were at
the wedding and he was able to have a private visit with
his family, too.
Later, the big screens were turned back on and family
and guests continued the virtual “visit” with Swanson
and Bergman until the wee hours of Feb. 15 in Iraq. As
Swanson’s Aunt Nicole remarked, “Well, Keith, you
won’t have any excuse for forgetting a wedding anniversary
that’s on Valentine’s Day.” Nor is he likely to forget
his wife’s birthday: both 20-year-old Watson and 21-
year-old Swanson were born on May 14.
As of this writing, Swanson is to return home in early
August — a short time before his brother, Cadet Senior
Master Sgt. Carl Swanson (who is also a private first class
in the Army National Guard) is to leave for basic training
in Gulfport, Miss., followed by advanced individual training.
In July 2008, Carl will enter Minnesota State
University in Mankato in the ROTC program, continuing
the family’s tradition of serving their country in times
of war and tenuous peace. ▲
