Father/Daughter Dance & Jommy/Son Date Night

June 22, 2012, was the Father Daughter Ball at the  Fort Bragg Club.  It was an amazing event.  I only know this because my 10 year-old daughter came home and told me all about it.  She raved about the punch fountain and the ice cream cones.  The highlight of her night was dancing with her daddy.  I'm thrilled that the MWR puts on these events.  A perfect night for a princess and her dad!  

2012 US Army Soldier Show Is On Tour

The first time I saw the Army Soldier Show was in 2009 while my husband was deployed.  I had the opportunity to see it again in 2010 with my husband and the kids.  It's an all ages show that won't disappoint.

"One goal of the U.S. Army Soldier Show is to promote resiliency by giving fellow troops an opportunity to unwind, relax and re-evaluate the world in which they live, along with the way of life that they defend. And how they do it: Army Strong."

Admission is free.  Check with your local MWR or public affairs offices for show locations, post access procedures and curtain times.  

Remember Dates and locations may change.
