Summary: This story is about a boy of two years old named Seth Rice, who is growing up without the presence of both of his parents. His parents, Marine Staff Sgt. Jeff Rice and Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Chat Rice say that it was a tough decision, but for the best. Seth currently lives with his grandparents in Ohio, where they make sure he sees and talks to his parents on Skype. Technology has certainly been a lifesaver for this small family, and the Rice's are grateful for the opportunity to connect with their young son.
This article, though it could qualify as a human interest story (or yellow journalism), it does not fall into the category of journalism. It may reveal a story of a couple of people who are serving our country through the military, but it does not reveal anything to the public about themselves or how they can be more independent.
The Core Biblical Truth that applies to this is the one on salvation. It says, "Throughout history, God has partnered with people to further his mission of salvation and redemption of a fallen creation". This applies because it is clear that the Rice's believe that it is necessary for them to serve in this war. And though their objective may not be to spread the Gospel and save foreigners from hell, their acts of service are displaying the works of God.
