Walter Reed Medical Center Visit.

Miss Capital City United States, Candiace Dillard and Ms. Maryland United States, Sarah Christian and I had the privilege to provide food to the wounded warriors at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland. It was great meeting our brave war heroes who have served us in combat.

The Volunteer Director emailed our state director and stated the following about us: "Ciera and Candiace were GREAT. They were fun, energetic and enthusiastic and both are drop dead gorgeous.... but more importantly their hearts are just perfect for what we do. They volunteered to take meals to rooms for patients and the head of Psychiatry asked them to help him take meals to a different floor of the hospital.... they got to see what we do and they brought a lot of laughter to the event."
