James Stanley's Holiday Surprise

Construction Mechanic Second Class James Stanley of the United States Navy has been on deployment for the last fourteen months in the horn of Africa at camp Lemonier in Djibouti.

During the Capitals' annual holiday party on December 16 at Capital One Arena, James' wife and children thought they were only going to hear a message from their father over seas during the team's Salute to the Troops. But James and the Washington Capitals had a surprise waiting for them wrapped up in a big box right around the corner.

There was barely a dry eye at Capital One Arena as Summer (age 9), Brooklyn (age 7) and Rylen (age 2) got the best present you can ask for during this time of year.
James is a huge Capitals fan and we wish the Stanley family all the very best.
