Bringing Smiles to Thai Orphans

U.S. Army Master Sgt. Anthony Ward, an Albuquerque, N.M. native, greets a resident of the Mercy Center, an emergency center for small children who are at risk of abuse, during a joint military community relations project Jan. 30. The U.S. Army, Air Force and the Republic of Korea Marine Corps and Navy participated in the event. The combined service members played with the children, attended a lunch banquet cooked by the center and landscaped the area. Participating militaries in Exercise Cobra Gold 2010 are slated to complete various community relations projects while in Thailand.
