Part 1 - Snowball Express 2011, as attended by the 501st Star Garrison North Texas Squad

"Snowball Express started in early 2006 with a simple idea: Provide hope and new memories to the children of military fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11. America should honor and pay tribute to the children of those military fallen heroes who have died while honorably serving since 9/11. In December of 2006, nearly 900 family members from all across America and the world gathered in Southern California for an unforgettable holiday gathering. Kids and widows discovered they weren't alone. And they found they weren't forgotten. It is a totally volunteer effort which came together in just a few months to create the largest all-expense-paid gathering for the families of our fallen warriors since 9/11." http://www.snowballexpress.org/about-us

And the costumed all volunteer non-profit organizations of the Star Wars 501st Legion Star Garrison North Texas Squad, along with the Mandolorian Mercs and the Rebel Legion, asked to attend this event to try to put a few smiles on those kids faces that Saturday, Dec 10th at the American Airlines Center.

For the camera shaking and spinning right-round, blame the amateur (I wish) photographer :-) For the music and such, blame me as well... just wanted to be a little artsy with the memories of such an amazing day that I know I'll never forget. How 'bout you guys?
