Christmas Party

Jan-23-2009 » Filed Under: 56th SBCT

This is a bit after the fact, but we wanted to link to an article featuring a Christmas party for B CO, 2-112 INF, 56th SBCT organized by its Family Readiness Group.

This was no ordinary Christmas party, but then again, these are no ordinary children.

Perhaps the only visit these youngsters are looking forward to more than Santa is the brief return of their fathers - the men of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard's 56th Styker Brigade Combat Team - who are training in Louisiana and leaving for the Middle East right after Christmas.

The company's Family Readiness Group, led by Hope Benning, sister of Spc. Brian Weaver, and Debi Lawson, wife of Sgt. Barry Lawson, hosted a Children's Christmas Party Sunday afternoon at the Frankstown Armory, complete with Santa and Mrs. Claus - riding in on a humvee filled with donated presents - donated food and a volunteer DJ.
