This past weekend I had the opportunity to head out to the beautiful Fort Leavenworth and participate in my first ever Operation: Love ReUnited session. Actually it was four sessions in one. I heard about the event through the talented Erica May who happened to also be the person I found the organization through. She started the event off and with the help of the Army Community Service organization was able to book me with four wonderful families. I’ll split this into two posts so that it doesn’t end up being too long.
