Thanks to Pixar Films, Cinemark Theaters and the efforts of John Ratzenberger, the children of Snowball Express and other Military families living in the area were treated to a special private premier of TOY STORY 3 before the rest of the country.

"When you see the kids and meet the families, you just want to hug and thank every single one and trust me....you wish there was some way to give them more time with their mother or father. As I kneeled down to grab a photo, one boy about eleven gave me a slight smile. As I smiled back I noticed a button on his shirt and asked if I could take a photo. He smiled and said "sure", obviously much older than his age. His father stood proud in uniform in the picture on the button, next to his mother and I didn't have the heart to ask his story and I didn't need to.
Until the day these children join their loved ones, hopefully much older and with children and grandchildren of their own, America should honor and pay tribute. They too are heroes. They have given up birthday's, holiday's, catch in the yard and just an every day hug. Those moments cannot be replaced and the children and families of military fallen heroes cannot be forgotten. Events like this one, provided by volunteers and the 'Snowball Express' are amazing and I am confident will be repeated.
Here are some of the sights.
