Earlier this year, we got up close and personal with a military family that was soon-to-be separated by war. Marine Staff Sgt. Tim Gallagher represents the new face of America's military — service members with children. Over 40 percent have at least one child younger than 18 years old. Staff Sgt. Gallagher left his wife and three young children behind for his tour of duty in Afghanistan. Now we're catching up with the family to see how they coped during his dangerous deployment and are there to see his emotional return home seven months later.
