Justin Harter, 3, keeps his "Uncle Sam" hat from falling over his eyes as he pulls his float in the Month of the Military Child Shoebox Parade on April 27 around the Family Child Care Office at Kenly and Selfridge Avenues on Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. He is the son of Staff Sgt. Ryan and Lisa Harter. "It was an awesome turnout," said Tina Matthews, Family Child Care Support Group president and event planner. She said the parade included 25 to 30 floats. "The children enjoyed pulling their floats, and especially making them at home with their parents," she said. "We had great support from parents and providers as well." (USAF photo by Robbin Cresswell)
