Retired Army SFC Tom Zasadil of Schaumburg, left, who served from 1964-1992 shares a story with Senior Recruit Sky Gallagher, 27, of St. Petersburg Florida Wednesday at Christian Liberty Academy. The Arlington Heights school hosted 35 sailors from Naval Station Great Lakes. These sailors cannot go home for Christmas. So CLA and Arlington Heights did their very best to give them a Christmas almost as good as home. Including a full Christmas dinner; unlimited treats; free phone calls home all day; video games and TV (all not allowed for them on base); and lots of well wishing.
