McElroy participates in Spirit of America

Army Spec. Carrie Skye L. McElroy was one of more than 300 Army soldiers who participated in the "Spirit of America 2009" performance to the citizens of Fairfax, Va., Columbus, Ohio, and in Providence, R.I.

The performers paid tribute to the sacrifices and triumphs of the American Soldier, who have remained the U.S. Army's centerpiece for more than 234 years.

During the event, soldiers bring history to life with the Spirit of America performance. The performance captures the true stories of those who have answered the call to duty for our nation. The soldiers, dressed in historical uniforms, re-enact key moments in the U.S. Army and American history. The re-enactments include battle scenes, short periods of simulated gunfire, and performances by the Army's elite ceremonial units.

McElroy, a military police member regularly assigned to the 289th Military Police Company, Fort Myer, Arlington, Va., has two years of military service.

She is the daughter of John E. Nickols of Lyle and Diane Harrington of Wewoka, Okla.

Her husband, Andrew, is the son of Chalmers and Etha D. McElroy of Lyle.

The specialist is a 2007 graduate of Lyle High School.
