Tanner Seitz, center, and U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Matt Bender, right, play with children during Cobra Gold 19 at the Child Protection and Development Center, Chon Buri, Kingdom of Thailand, Feb. 9, 2019. “Many of the children here have no family, but when the [U.S.] service members visit the children they feel that they are a part of a family again,” said Saichon Komjing, the manager of child care and development at Child Protection and Development Center. “The children here look up to [the U.S. service members] as role models and try to be brave and strong like they are.” Tanner, a native of Freeport, Texas, is an aviation ordnance with the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 Reinforced part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Bender, a native of Toledo, Ohio, is an intelligence specialist aboard USS Green Bay (LPD 20).(U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Timothy Valero)
