Gilbert visited Jacksonville, N.C. to help honor 13-year-old Jaxson Jordan, who spends most of his free time helping his community despite his health challenges. In recognition of his service, Jaxson was selected as Operation Homefront’s 2019 Military Child of the Year for the Marine Corps. His dad, Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Christopher Jordan, also made a surprise visit home from deployment to join the family trip.
