Staff Sgt. Robert Garcia, a platoon sergeant from Company B, 1st Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, out of Fort Carson, Colo., celebrates Easter early this year with a group of children in Vilnius, Lithuania, March 30. Getting Soldiers out into the community is an important part of Operation Atlantic Resolve as it lets the Soldiers experience the location and interact with the people as well as letting the people in the community get to know Soldiers of the U.S. Army. The presence of U.S. Soldiers in the European theater assures Allies and partners of our commitment to NATO as well as to the Communities within those countries. The children gather at the Vytautas Kasiulis Art Museum and for entertainment by a magician afterwards an introduction to the U.S. Soldiers who pass out candy and help the kids try on some of the protective gear worn by Soldiers. Operation Atlantic Resolve is a U.S. led effort in Eastern Europe that demonstrates U.S. commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region.
