One example of this creativity is displayed by the 2nd grade students of Arthur Edward Elementary, New Bern, N.C. school project called “Flat Stanley.”
Staff Sgt. Ronald Whitehead, of Alexander, La., a bradley system maintainer, 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division received one such Flat Stanley from his son Dalton.
“Students mailed Flat Stanley to deployed Soldiers to give them some company from a friend in America. Soldiers who receive Flat Stanley are asked to
record Flat Stanley’s travels and then mail him back to the student with the details of where he has been,” said Staff Sgt. Andrew Climovech, of Sauk City, Wis., headquarters platoon sergeant, Troop D, 4th Sqdn., 10th Cav. Reg.
The Soldiers of “Dragoon” Troop were eager to participate in this assignment and put forth great effort in showing Flat Stanley around COB Adder, said Climovech.
Flat Stanley has joined Whitehead at the House of Pain Gym where he strives to stay in shape.
Following a hard workout, Flat Stanley grabbed a bite to eat at the Sandstorm Express Grab N’ Go
“I am so grateful for all the Dragoon Soldiers and the support they have shown for my son’s project,” said Whitehead, “Dalton will truly enjoy all their support.”
The project proved to be both rewarding to the Whitehead Family and the Soldiers of Dragoon Troop, said Climovech.
Following this day in the life of a Dragoon Soldier, Flat Stanley was mailed back to Dalton. A few days later, Whitehead received word from his son that his class project was a rousing success and well received by the whole class.
