Airborne Trooper Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 First off, for sending off that young man. I have 5 kids of my own and anytime I have the chance to visit kids in the hospital I am a big giant ball of goo in my helmet. I can't imagine what these parents go through but I do my best to make these kids forget their worries for a few moments. Definitely makes me appreciate what I have and puts things into prospective. I would pick a hospital troop over a con troop any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for sharing these pictures, they look they were a blast. 4 hours ago, Airborne Trooper said: I would pick a hospital troop over a con troop any day.
