Nonprofit That Helps Military Kids Marks 10th Year

A nonprofit group that helps the children of military families is marking its 10th anniversary with an event in Washington.

The group called Our Military Kids is celebrating the milestone Monday afternoon at the Naval Heritage Center near the U.S. Navy Memorial.

The charity was formed in 2004 to support children of National Guard and reserve families that become financially stressed during a parent's deployment.

In 2008, it expanded to include children of severely injured service members from all military branches.
