During the 26th OCT 2024 event at Grace stables soldiers from the 8th Army Sergeant Audie Murphy club, 65th MED BDE, and 1 Signal BDE attended the event in order to assist local Korean orphanages during a community outreach event. The purpose behind the event is to raise awareness of local orphanages that are in need while giving the service members an opportunity to volunteer. During the event there were horse riding, games, a bounce house, foods, and fun interaction with the orphanages and soldiers. Several of the orphans stated that they had a fun time and enjoyed the company of the service members in attendance. There were over 20 plus service members and families that attended along with 40 korean orphans and their sponsors.
