Today Show live from Camp Eggers

NBC's Today Show with Lester Holt began broadcasting live from Camp Eggers at 1630 on 25 Nov 2010, Thanksgiving. The camera work, coordination with New York, and Lester Holt's professional delivery were amazing. The most amazing aspect was being live on television 9,500 miles from the United States.

These are the South Dakota boys (Task Force Rushmore) who are National Guardsmen providing base support in the Kabul area. These stalwart South Dakotans are professionals and superlative in supporting all our needs here.

Lester Holt is putting on his coat after interviewing troops and Airmen inside the "Goat" Dining Facility (DFAC) at Camp Eggers. The teleprompter was not working correctly and Mr. Holt didn't skip a beat. Very professional in his delivery and he evinced a genuine concern for the armed forces.
