JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD -- Eleven-year-old Triniaty Williams prepares for a mock deployment during Operation KUDOs, or Kids Understanding Deployment Operations, July 9, 2016, at McChord Field.
Operation KUDOs allowed children ages 5 to 12 received supply items before deploying to Hanger 9. During the mock deployment, children toured a C-17 Globemaster III static display and received meals provided by the USO Mobile Canteen, while their families prepared welcome home posters and awaited their return.
Triniaty’s father, Army Agt. Walter Williams, is a corrections specialist with the 508th Military Police Battalion at Lewis-Main.
