Thirty-five crew members of the USS GONZALEZ, alongside 12 Georgian Special Forces members, volunteered time and energy to provide repair work and maintenance at the Makhinjauri Children's House outside of Batumi. The military teams painted 3 rooms, chopped and stored firewood and performed much-needed electrical repairs. The crew's community service day underscored not only strong military-to-military ties, but also the vibrant people-to-people connection between the U.S and Georgia. The children were delighted to meet and play games with the sailors, and ten of the five-year-olds were invited onboard to visit the ship. (Photo courtesy Us.

On Dec. 9, U.S. Ambassador Mary Warlick and Mr. Stanko Radic, General Manager of Grand Motors Serbia, donated an ambulance to the Vranje Medical more than $45,000, was shared by the U.S. Embassy and Grand Motors. The U.S. Department of Defense provided $20,000 through U.S. European Command's Civil Military Operations. The Vranje Medical Center is the most remote medical center in Serbia, providing services to more than 228,000 citizens and is responsible for several international and heavily congested roads where numerous serious traffic accidents occur each year. For these reason, the Vranje Medical Center requires a reliable ambulance vehicle for transport of patients to the medical center and, in the case of severe injuries or medical conditions, to a distant major medial institution.
