WASHINGTON, March 1, 2006 – Deployed reserve-component troops are receiving support packaged a little differently from they're used to, thanks to a Virginia-based nonprofit organization supporting them by supporting their children.
Linda Davidson and Gail Kruzel, founders of "Our Military Kids, Inc.," realize many extracurricular activities for children are available on military bases. But for children whose parents are in the reserves or National Guard, however, those resources aren't always close to home.
"It's important to keep them in a routine, the same routine that existed before Dad or Mom was deployed," Davidson said. She added that the group's goal was not only to maintain familiar routines, but also to keep children focused on something other than their parents' absence.
