Maj.
Gen. Sanford Holman presents and American flag to Khalil Quarles, 10, at his
home in Baltimore, Md., during a surprise visit from members of the 200th
Military Police Command and the Office of the Chief for his honorary Oath of
Enlistment ceremony held Dec. 19. Holman is the commanding general of the 200th
MPCOM. Quarles suffers from a rare form of cancer that affects less than 1
percent of all people who have been diagnosed
cancer. Quarles, who is terminally ill, said it would be his dream to enlist in
the Army. Through friends of friends and the power of social media, the 200th
MPCOM partnered with deployed soldiers in Kuwait who are assigned to the 12th
Public Affairs Detachment and Third Army to ensure Quarles' wish came true.
More than two-dozen soldiers assigned to the 200th MPCOM and the Office of the
Chief, Army Reserve stood shoulder-to-shoulder during the enlistment ceremony.
The 200th Military Police Command is based out of Fort Meade, Md., and commands
and controls more than 13,000 soldiers in 44 states.
