Dave Price Goes to Iraq -- Again

As Americans celebrate the holidays with their families, the troops overseas aren't so fortunate.

So, to give the men and women serving abroad a taste of home and the holidays, a non-profit group of entertainers called "Stars for Stripes" is traveling to them. The group focuses on performing in some of the most remote and forward-operating bases in the war zones.

"Early Show" weather anchor and features reporter Dave Price is among the group currently visiting Iraq.
