V.I. National Guard Will Hold Event for Children

These backpacks are to thank military children and youth for the sacrifices they make when their parents are deployed. They contain journals, various gadgets and cuddly bears for children in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Family members and guardians are asked to bring their children.
