Show 8 TIMES November 16, 2006 Wellness expo Continued from 1 care boxes were shipped to various deployed Airmen. "From the turnout I saw and comments I received, it's obvious that the event turned out great," said LaRue Campbell, installation Wingman Day manager, "It didn't matter what time of day it was, there was always a constant flow of people coming in and out." Several local UPS companies even provided free shipping for the packages. Office Max and Office Depot provided envelopes for letter writing, and several local schools participated in the "Adopt a Hero" letter writing campaign to send letters to deployed Hill Airmen. "The expo was a huge success," said Debra Schwartz, chief of the Operations Branch for the 84th Combat Sustainment Wing. "The teamwork with all the people involved and all the great volunteers was incredible. It was fantastic to see people bring in their donations and sign up to volunteer." In addition to the volunteer opportunities, the expo also offered health screenings and provided educational booths focusing on wellness. Staff Sgt. Q-Anna Taylor, 75th Aerospace Medicine Squadron, took a few minutes to try on the fatal vision goggles at one booth.

"When you help out somebody else, it not only helps that person, it helps you," Colonel Bailey said. "It helps you emotionally, mentally and physically. This expo covered all aspects of the wingman concept. This is something that will benefit everyone." Although the expo took a lot of work and teamwork and cooperation from many parties, event organizers said the hard work and time that went into it was well worth it. "It was hard work to pull this together, and we were all tired at the end of the day, but we arc still smiling and excited about what we accomplished," said Ms. Schwartz. "Several people said they would like to see this become an annual expo and I can't think of a better way to demonstrate being a wingman, than actually having the opportunity to lend a hand to someone who needs it."
