This is a common failure on dodge caravans and can be devastating if the strut tower breaks through while you are driving. If it breaks through even at a dead stop the car is totaled as the body drops down breaking the hood, axle and yes even the bumper :). The repair is hard and can be costly unless you know someone who is a good welder and will do it for less than the auto body shops. We spent over $1200 repairing this monster but still less than cost of new car. Be careful as we have seen one of these let go. If your strut tower is rusting this badly either get it fixed or junk it.
