There are no words of how excited I was to finally make the trip to Camp Grayling. Upon entering Camp Grayling two helicopters doing test flights flew over and the base was busy with approximately 5,000 military men and women on base. All branches of military were there except Coast Guard I was told. I was told there were soldiers from other countries as well. I was greeted by a group of Marines both men and women who helped unload the trailer and car. They were so excited and those who helped took first dibs on the bath shoes. The female in the picture with me under the USO sign is Carlie and she oversees the USO building. I want to thank everyone who donated to this project.
