 The fifth annual Military Child of the Year Awards were held at the Ritz Carlton in Arlington, Virginia. The awards are given for maintaining above-average grades, excelling in sports, theater, music and volunteering an average of 75 hours during the year. It's a nice feeling to be able to give back. It really is. We have just been very fortunate and it's nice to help out the local community, youth centers, the boys and girls of America and the other children in our areas who are in need. The winners of the awards received a trip to Washington, D.C., a laptop computer and $5,000 in cash prizes. They also had the chance to sit down with their service chiefs at an awards dinner.
