Summary

Khalil Quarles, 10, raises his right hand during his honorary enlistment into the Army Reserve as his father, Damon, watches the ceremony held in Baltimore, Md. Maj. Gen Sanford Holman, 200th Military Police Command's commanding general, read the special Oath of Enlistment for Quarles, who suffers from a rare form of cancer that affects less than 1 percent of all people who have been diagnosed cancer. Quarles, who is terminally ill, said it would be his dream to enlist in the Army. Through friends of friends and the power of social media, the 200th MPCOM partnered with deployed soldiers in Kuwait who are assigned to the 12th Public Affairs Detachment and Third Army to ensure Quarles' wish came true. More than two-dozen soldiers assigned to the 200th MPCOM and the Office of the Chief, Army Reserve stood shoulder-to-shoulder during the enlistment ceremony. The 200th Military Police Command is based out of Fort Meade, Md., and commands and controls more than 13,000 soldiers in 44 states.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
