On Feb 10th I along with a few other troopers of the Carolina Garrison will be visiting a special school for children who are currently battling cancer or who have very low immune deficiencies. The school is called "Children Exceeding Expectations". It meets in Bristol TN. I would like to show these wonderful kids that our legion supports them, cares for them, and is beside them every step of they way in their battle. I would love to present the kids with items from around the country and world to show we care, such as trading cards, stickers, or patches. Really, anything you can send in would be greatly appreciated! I will post follow up pictures after our visit. If you are interested in sending things in please PM me and I will let you know where to send items.
Thank you for your continued support.

Yes. There are 12 kids in the school. This school is for kids that due to their situation, can not attend "regular" school or be around other students, or germs.
We are going to be surprising them with the news that they will be taking a special trip to Disney World!
We will show up at their school during their Valentines day party which will take place on Friday Feb 10.
I would also LOVE to have a few more troopers make the trip over here to do the visit with us but I understand that its hard with work and travel.
