Recognition" for the benefit of active Army, National Guard,
Army Reserve, retired and former Army warrant officers and

This year we have adopted
four children thru the Metro Washington USO for the holiday
season. Three are from one family. Their names, ages, and
wish lists are as follows: Kayleah, female, 4 years old,
loves Polly Pockets, Barbie Little Mommy doll or anything
seen on TV. There is Ryan, male, 9 years old, who loves
Lego, Nerf, and Army Halo toys. The third child is also
named Ryan and he is 16 years old. He loves halo legos and
army things. The other family has one male child: Maverick,
3 years old, who loves cars, trucks, robots and things to
bounce. If anyone wants to purchase toys for any of these
children please contact me first to insure that some else
hasn't already spoken for them. We need their gifts for
delivery to the Metro USO on December 10th or 12th.
