As you know at Army Wife 101 we love when brands and retailers support our military. Deployments are stressful and after 6-12 months in a combat zone a service member deserves nothing more then a little vacation and family time.

The family oriented Homewood Suites along with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Joining Forces Initiative recently did just that for a soldier who had returned home on leave from his forth deployment.  SGT First Class Russell Zink came home on a three day leave thinking he was going to just hang with his immediate family and visit the aquarium in Georgia.  Little did he know about the surprise that was awaiting for him.

What he didn’t know is that Hilton’s Homewood Suites had arranged for 20 family members of his to fly in and have an all expense paid family reunion and vacation together. The entire Zink family had a chance to visit  Coca-Cola Museum, Georgia Aquarium and CNN headquarters and enjoyed a family banquet at Hilton Midtown Atlanta.

This family reunion is just one part of Hilton’s new Operation Opportunity “a pledge to hire 10,000 veterans over the next five years and donate millions of Hilton HHonors points to assist job-seeking veterans.” Hilton also hopes to continue with plans for a national travel military program that will allow other military service members and their families to reunite just as the Zink family did.

This is the first in a series of military reunions being arranged by Hilton Worldwide’s international brand of upscale, all-suite, extended-stay hotels, which it hopes will be a catalyst for a larger national military family travel program that brings in sponsors from across the travel industry.

The Zink family was connected with Hilton through the Joining Forces Initiative and the National Military Family Association. They too will be working with Hilton to continue this program for our military.

    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in

    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
    it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but
    I had to tell someone!

  15. What’s more, the touch has to be the right kind of touch, so both

    4 emails with the same comment. There has to be a way you are able to remove me from that service?

    much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I really thought you would have something
    helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that
    you could fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.

    Spot on with this write-up, I absolutely feel this website needs a great deal more attention.

    Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a really
    good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging,
    and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue
    that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

    a little homework on this. And he actually bought me dinner simply because I found
    it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this….

    to discuss this topic here on your website.
