Wisconsin Operation Military Kids

Wisconsin Public Television presents Teen Connection:
In the past few years, Wisconsin has seen some of the largest military troop deployments in the state's history. On the next television broadcast of Teen Connection, a panel of teens and adult experts will discuss how these deployments affect the lives of family members - especially children - back at home.

Operation Military Kids had the opportunity to participate in the Wisconsin Public Television program Teen Connection in May.  For an hour, three teens answered calls from viewers about the experience of having a family member deployed.  Matt Paulino, Eleanor Horvath, and Nina Horvath have all experienced the deployment of a parent and shared their stories to help other teens.  Taped segments shared the stories of three teens with parents deployed through the National Guard as well as the perspective of the Operation Military Kids Director and a mother of children with a deployed father.   The show can be viewed at www.wpt.org/teenconnection.  Discussion questions will be available for use with the video.  To order a copy of the video contact Newist/CESA 7 at www.newist.org.
