On the Eve of All Hallows Eve






Preparation for Halloween has begun. The USO is planning to distribute pumpkin trick-or-treat bags filled with snacks and candies (thank you Laura, Karen and KY&L), Peeps (thank you Alexis) and other delicious or disgusting treats inside. We are co-sponsoring an evening dress-up 5K Walk/Run (you must wear a costume to win) and the creepiest ever Haunted House. The Troop Medical Center has so many gory plans that I am steering clear of them until after Halloween is over.

We began to build the Haunted House last night. You may recognize the dead-body-builders, tombstone-layers and spider-web-makers as some of the highest ranking soldiers at Camp Virginia. As developments progress I’ll keep you ghosted – I mean, posted. (Sorry.)

Every day we hear heartbreaking stories out of Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. We hope these diversions help the troops so that they can more easily adjust and properly perform their duties. We so very much appreciate your continuing support.
