Local Youngster Makes
Cover Of Army Magazine
By KAY ABBOTT
Staff Writer
The imagination of John
Kirby, 3, agllxmmerville. has
been filled with soldiers and
Army helicopters since he at
tended the Armed Forces Day
celebration in Summerville
May 16.
*“He talks about helict()ipt,ers
every day now,"” said his
mother, Celenia Kirby. ‘‘He has
a lot of fun pretending he is
jumping out of a helicopter
with a parachute.”
The high point of the May
16 celegration for the
youngster was when he got the
chance to sit inside the AR
COM Medivac helicopter
shortly after it landed at the
Chattooga County Memorial
Home.
Sgt. Dorothy Young,
Reserve photographer, cap
tured the child's excitement as
he waved a small American
flag inside the cabin. The photo
later appeared in The News,
and is now on the cover of the
summer edition of a national
Army Reserve magazine, "‘The
Wiltféat."
Lyerly author and Vietnam
veteran David Hartline located
Johnny and Celenia Kirby this
week to show them the
ma%/lazine.
r. and Mrs. Kirby were
excited about their son's pic
ture, but little John was more
interested in seeing pictures of
the helicgrter inside. The
magazine also contains a one
page article and photos of the
Armed Forces Day celebration
in Chattooga County.

Makes National Magazine Cover
John Kirby, 3, Summerville, was so impressed by the
activities of Armed Forces Day last May 16, that he
has talked about it all summer. The toddler was still
talking enthusiastically about the Army Medivac
helicopter featured in the parade when he learned that
his picture made the front cover of a national Army
Reserve publication, “The Wildcat.” His reaction:
“*Show me pictures of the helicopter.” His mother, Mrs.
Celenia Kirby, was more excited about the cover photo
of her son. “T'll need lots of extra copies for the grand
parents and relatives,” she said. The child was
photographed by Sgt. Dorothy Young inside the
Medivac unit shortly after it landed at the Chattooga
County Memorial Home. John, holding his teddy bear,
displays the magazine with his mother. (Staff Photo by
