- Douglas MacArthur(Gateway to Soldiers began with a delivery of about 153 bulletproof vests to Camp Shelby, Miss., for the 153rd CAV unit out of Ocala. Several people donated the vests to the program, and Adams helped in delivering them to Camp Shelby. Adams said Gateway to Soldiers helps provide support to soldiers and their families, especially those involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.)
