Christian Liberty Academy hosts 48 sailors from Naval Station Great Lakes on Christmas Day
Forty-eight recruits from Naval Station Great Lakes were greeted with smiles, hugs and a parade line of flags Christmas Day at Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights. The Navy recruits received a full day of food, fun, support, entertainment and phones to call home while at the Arlington Heights school.
Seaman Morgan Bean of Texas smiled ear to ear as he described his experience at boot camp to Linda Stack before the short program started. This is often the first Christmas that many of these young recruits will spend away from home and family. The tradition of hosting them was started by Bob Stack, a teacher at Christian Liberty, and his wife in honor of their son.
