Scott AFB



Trinity Parker and Troy Rudloff, both 9, bowl together at a family bowling night at Scott Air Force Base in O'Fallon, Ill. Organized bowling nights are a common activity for family members of deployed soldiers living on base.

I went to Scott Air Force Base last weekend with some other students working on the Department of Journalism's "The War Comes Home" project. I mostly shot video when we were allowed to shoot, which was pretty much never, but here is an interesting image from the family bowling night we went to. We did interviews with people at the bowling alley and there were some pretty compelling stories.
