Lauzen Invites Military Families to Record Holiday Greetings

State Sen. Chris Lauzen is inviting local military families with active servicemen and women to record and send a free personalized Holiday season video greeting to their deployed family members. 

Through the generosity of the Illinois Center for Broadcasting in Lombard, military families can record a free professional digital video message which will be transmitted via Facebook to their loved ones during this Christmas season. For more information, please call Sen. Chris Lauzen's office at 630-264-2334 or Jessica at Illinois Center for Broadcasting at 630-916-1700. Recording appointments can be scheduled through Friday, Dec. 16.

Chris and Sarah Lauzen are the parents of two sons serving in the United States military. USMC Capt. Ted Lauzen is a pilot stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. Their third son, US Navy Ensign Hans Lauzen, is currently deployed onboard the USS Kidd in the Western Pacific Ocean.

“As a parent of a deployed serviceman, I know how excited our son will be to see and hear his family at what can often be a very lonely time for soldiers far from home,” said Senator Lauzen. “We will tell Hans how much we love him, how much his service is appreciated and that there’s a package with his favorite Christmas cookies on its way!”

In a press release, Lauzen offered his "heartfelt thanks to the Illinois Center for Broadcasting for their generous offer to our military families."
