U.S. Army Lt. Col. William Gray (left), commander for 1st Combined Arms Battalion, 252nd Armor Regiment, and Col. Vernon Simpson, commander of the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team and Multinational Battle Group-East, listen during a Violence Free Future workshop discussion to promote tolerance in Kosovo, Sept. 19, 2015, in Mitrovica, Kosovo. Simpson and Gray are both North Carolina National Guard leaders for units deployed to Kosovo as part of NATO’s Kosovo Force peace support mission. The workshop, along with a Play2Educate youth event, was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and led by Rotary Club Pristina to promote pro-social behaviors for young men and women in Kosovo regardless of gender or ethnic background. Hungarian and U.S. soldiers assigned to Multinational Battle Group-East attended the event as volunteers and mentors in order to demonstrate the importance of impartial, consistent values in building cooperation and respect within communities.
