Books on Bases, Smiles on Faces
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Blue Star Families and K.I.D.S. kicked off the inaugural Books on Bases, Smiles on Faces event as part of the White House’s summer service initiative, United We Serve. Military families attending the event were treated to activities like coloring a banner for the troops, coloring and decorating popsicle stick picture frames. There were balloon creatures to be had, temporary tattoos for everyone and cake. Lots of cake. Service members and a representative from Senator Mark Warner’s office read for the kids and BSF and K.I.D.S. gave each of the kids a book to take home.
