Atlanta Area Military Brats
Fall Gathering at Panola Mountain State Park
On Saturday, September 22, 2001, thirty-five Military Brats met
at Penola Mountain State Park, just outside Atlanta.
Though many had never met before, everyone was
soon introducing themselves and not asking, "Where are
you from?" but rather, "Where all have you lived?"
Fia Baker created hand-made name tags,
decorated with red, white and blue. Participants filled out the name tags--not the usual kind,
but real tags with their name on side and a list of
places they had lived and what school they had graduated
from on the other side. A few Military Brats had trouble
fitting all the different locations into the limited amount of space!
As Military Brats talked, many would scan the tag to
see what places might be common to each.
During the course of the picnic, which seemed like
the company picnics we would attend as kids on
base, we all got to know one another and exchanged
stories about growing up in the military and living
with non-Military Brats after we grew up and left home.
This event was sponsored by the Military Brats Network
(the combined efforts of the Military-Brats Registry and
Military Brats Online), who donated the door prizes.
Thanks to everyone who came and to those who couldn't be with
us this time, we will get together in the spring.
More photos will be posted here soon.
