Army Medical Command's very own Christian Schreckhise is one of 32 Army semifinalists competing for Operation Homefront's 2014 Military Child of the Year Award. Schreckhise, 16, wants to become a pediatrician or pediatric endocrinologist. He is the son of Liz and Col. Clint Schreckhise, deputy chief of staff, U.S. Army Medical Command. The award recognizes outstanding military children from each branch of service who demonstrate resiliency, leadership, and achievement. The ideal candidate for the award must demonstrate resilience and strength of character, and the ability to thrive in the face of the challenges of military life. They must also demonstrate leadership within their families and within their communities. The teen is among 156 semifinalists representing each branch of service. Winners will be announced in March.
