"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Camouflage Kids Event "Support Through Sports" @ West Point Saturday February 27th

Last year the kids & I attended a Camo Kids event at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. This year Scott was able to come & experience the fun & excitement. We watched our very own West Point Black Knights. The Camouflage Kids mission is to provide an opportunity to the children of military personnel to visit college campuses and attend athletic events. Hoping to inspire the children to challenge themselves academically and athletically!! The entire event is free & a great opportunity for every military family!! We each received a free t-shirt, goody bag & $50 to spend on food. As a side note: we kept misplacing the white envelope they gave us until we realized it had $50 cash ($10 for each person) to spend at the snack bar. Scott looked at me & said, "it's cash not tickets for the food bar." We didn't lose the envelope again!!! The kids thought it was great to spend their $10 on soda, nachos, chicken fingers & cotton candy. We're lucky no one got sick. Just like an Army Soldier our children have Iron Stomachs!!
