SAIL ARMY IN PHILADELPHIA, PA.
On Saturday, December 12, 2009, we were honored to have the USAV MG Roberts Smalls, LSV-8 sail into Philadelphia, PA. during the traditional Army / Navy Football Game. Our Honorable Mayor Michael Nutter and other dignitaries were among the first to greet our Military Personnel to the City of Brotherly Love. CW4 Steven C. Brown, Commander and SFC Wilfredo Gonzalez, DET SGT lead their fine crew of the 203rd Transportation Detachment to meet and greet citizens with the history of this great vessel. The primary mission of this 314 feet long Army Watercraft Vessel is to “Provide maritime logistical and rescue support to U.S. and allied forces with or without the benefit of existing port facilities.” The commitment, sacrifice and dedication of the Crew of eight (8) Officers and twenty-three (23) Enlisted Army Personnel were recognized and appreciated by all including Santa Clause.
For this, our South Philadelphia students enthusiastically came together to bring Seasons Greetings to the crew of USAV MG Roberts Smalls LSV-8 and nearby Navy Personnel. Shanice Samuel of Mastery Charter School (L), PA. American Legion Auxiliary - Junior Eastern Vice-President Rasheeda Muchison (C), and Jacquelynn Stroman (R) of Russell Byers Charter School felt blessed in their lives and wanted to share their Spirit of Giving. Thank You / Appreciation cards as well as Thinsulated Gloves were provided by these youths on the behalf of the Philadelphia American Legion / Auxiliary of Lincoln Post/Unit # 89. Philadelphia will continue to support our Military and Pray for their safe travels back to their families. God Speed!
The American Legion Auxiliary Juniors held their 26th Annual National Junior Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Our Juniors and veterans children from the Home Front Kids Canteen were “Energized” as they were visited by our National Vice-President Rita Navarrete. This was their Second Annual Home Front Kids Canteen held for Veterans children . They received back packs full of items as they entered to play numerous planned activities. Some of the activities consisted of ball playing, face painting, card making and picture pillowcase taking for their love ones in service. This was a great moment for all.
