Lighting up the holidays
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- This holiday season Joint Total Force Scott started to celebrate in a variety of ways. Events kicked off with the USO and Jack Daniels Distillery “Toast to the Troops” concert on Dec. 4 featuring country music star Craig Morgan. Mr. Morgan along with more than a hundred Joint Total Force Scott members stuffed more than 10,000 USO care packages for deployed servicemembers. Joint Total Force Scott came out Thursday and braved the rain and snow to give out nearly 300 free holiday trees and to light the Scott tree. Saturday’s events started with the USO Santa Express event at Union Station in downtown St. Louis, which featured a free ride on the MetroLink and holiday activities for local military families, and ended with the 375th Airlift Wing Holiday party held at the Scott Club.
