U.S. Army Maj. Paul Ciminera, from Hauppauge, N.Y., meets Diane Bodman, wife of Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman, at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar on Jan. 22. The secretary came to Camp As Sayliyah with his wife and daughter to meet service members participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program. The family brought phone cards, Girl Scout cookies and Starbuck's coffee for the troops. "It's great he came out here with his family," said Feirman, during his break from military operations in Afghanistan. "I am a physician at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C., when I am not deployed overseas. The secretary's wife volunteers there." Since the program's inception in 2004, over 150,000 war fighters, serving in Southwest Asia, have traveled to Qatar for a brief respite from military commitments.
