ARLINGTON, TX – December 5, 2008 – This Christmas holiday, PSK decided to do something out of the ordinary. No office party this year, instead a chartered bus arrived to take everyone to DFW airport to spread holiday cheer with others outside the office.
What better way to celebrate the Christmas season than thanking those who serve us and our country? With troops arriving daily, the PSK team was fortunate enough to welcome home those who serve in the armed forces overseas and were coming home for the holidays. Waiting with much anticipation, PSK was not the only group there. Many family members were there to greet their loved ones, veterans from other wars were there to support their “brothers and sisters”, scout troops and regular citizens were there to show their love and respect. PSK has employees with family members currently serving as well.
The arrival of the troops was an emotional experience for many. “I was going to say something to the first guy that came out, but I knew I would start crying, so I just shook his hand,” says PSK’s Director of First Impressions, Jean Thrash. The homemade signs and American flags in everyone’s hands didn’t do justice to the welcoming hands and faces of everyone there. There are rumors that this has been the best Christmas party PSK has had thus far.
