On Saturday, May 28, the daughters of 40th Military Police Battalion Soldiers became princesses. They put on their finest dresses and were escorted by their dads to a dance in their honor. Once there, they were greeted with a wonderland of balloons in red, pink and white, hearts and tea lights upon the tables and music made perfect for dancing the night away thanks to Staff Sgt. Nick Rios Rodriguez and his DJ company, T&R Productions.
The 256th Military Police Company Family Readiness Group hosted the event at the Frontier Chapel. Debra Calkins, FRG leader, said that this event “was something just for them.”
“They miss out on a lot working shift behind the walls. I wanted something that the bulk of them could attend without worrying about their schedule.”
The girls munched on cupcakes and snow cones as they ran between their seats and the dance floor so they didn’t miss a song. And the dads didn’t miss a beat either — they taught their daughters to dance and learned a few new dances in return.
Events such as this one are put on with the help of fundraisers. The next 256th FRG fundraiser is at 11 a.m. today in the 40th MP Battalion parking lot on Sabalu Road. The FRG will be selling sub sandwiches with chips and a drink for a suggested donation of $5.
