A Big Thank You to Brooke!

At Washington National Night Out on August 5, we had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people—including a few unforgettable DC and Marvel characters. Yet, one young visitor truly stood out.

Brooke was upset she didn’t have enough bracelets for our whole team that evening. And then, yesterday during our Future Soldier Training, she surprised us—bringing not only enough bracelets for us, but extra ones for our Future Soldiers as well.

Brooke, your kindness and thoughtfulness mean the world to us. Thank you for going the extra mile and brightening our day! 🙌
