Hearts Apart
RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Best friends Anna Kirschling, 11, and in the background, Serena Rodriguez, 10, get their faces painted Aug. 26, 2010, at the Hearts Apart dinner for family members of active duty personnel who are deployed. Serena's father, Master Sgt. Robert Rodriguez assigned to the 67th Special Operations Squadron, was the organizer of that event attended by more than 20 families. Hearts Apart is one of several programs sponsored by the Airman and Family Readiness Center to support families with a deployed member. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Marelise Wood)
