FORT SILL, Okla. (April 9, 2015) -- The ability to separate yourself from your peers is a great achievement within itself, whether through sports, academics or volunteering this achievement is important.
Reagan Pyles, daughter of 1st Sgt. Richard Pyles, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade, was recently named Fort Sill Youth of the Year for 2015.
It seems to run in the family. This is the second year in a row that Reagan has been named Youth of the Year.
"This is the third time my children have received this award, my son won it in 2013 and Reagan won it in 2014 and now this year. As a father I couldn't be more proud of all my children and as a leader I am thrilled they have taken charge of their lives and pursued something greater than themselves," said 1st Sgt. Pyles.
Reagan is a senior at a local high school and is actively involved in numerous programs and clubs, and plans to study Early Childhood Education when she attends college.
Reagan will go to compete at the state level later in April. If she wins she could go on to compete at the regional level.
Child, Youth and School Services across the DoD recognize the challenges of Soldiers and their families. They offer quality programs for children, youth and students, and fully supports the Army Family Covenant.
CYS Staff here encourages all the children to be a role model, to get outside of their comfort zones, and to pursue volunteerism. They encourage the children to volunteer not only within Army organizations, but with the Lawton-Fort Sill community as well.
