    Ayden Frail, 5, of San Antonio, visits with U.S. Army Reserve pilots and crew chiefs at Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment, at Simmons Army Airfield at Fort Bragg, N.C., Sept. 18, 2013. Ayden was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last year on Thanksgiving Day. He visited the unit because he "really likes helicopters."

    A group of U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage pose for a group photo in a military hangar with a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter visible in the background. At the center of the group is a young child dressed in a green flight suit with patches and a tan cap, making a peace or victory sign with both hands. This appears to be a special visit or 'wish' event where the child was given a military aviation experience.
    A young child is being fitted with an oversized military aviation helmet by an adult wearing U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage. The helmet, which is significantly too large for the child, covers most of their face with only their eyes visible through the visor opening. This appears to be an educational or public outreach event where military equipment is being demonstrated to civilians.
    A young child is seated inside what appears to be a military helicopter cockpit, wearing an olive green flight suit with a name patch reading 'AYDEN A. FRAIL, WO, U.S. ARMY' and a unit patch below it. The child is smiling at the camera in what appears to be a posed photo opportunity. The setting suggests this may be a military open house, air show, or special visit event.
    A woman with brown curly hair and purple glasses is smiling and holding a young boy dressed in a child-sized U.S. Army flight suit with patches and a tan military cap. The boy's name tag reads 'Ayden A. Frail, WO, U.S. Army' and he wears a 'Smugglers' squadron patch from the 1-169th Aviation unit. They appear to be inside a military aircraft, likely during a special event or 'honorary soldier' program.
    An adult male and a young child are leaning over a wooden surface, both wearing matching tan/beige baseball caps and olive green shirts. The adult, wearing sunglasses pushed up on his cap and a ring on his finger, appears to be guiding the child in a hands-on task involving a small tool. The setting appears to be an indoor workshop or hangar environment.
    A U.S. Army soldier, identified by his name tape as 'MAYER' and wearing ACU (Army Combat Uniform) with captain's rank insignia, assists a young child dressed in a green flight suit standing on the ramp of a military helicopter. The child is wearing a baseball cap and has patches on the flight suit, suggesting a special visit or 'pilot for a day' type event. The setting appears to be inside a military hangar.
    A soldier in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage is demonstrating a door-mounted machine gun on what appears to be a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter to a young child dressed in an olive green flight suit and matching cap. The setting appears to be a public military open house or air show event. The child is smiling and holding the gun mount handles while the soldier adjusts the weapon system.
