Monday morning at Fort Bragg's Tolson Youth Center, families with young children had a visit from some familiar furry friends. 

The favorite cast of characters from Sesame Street joined the USO Experience along with Elmo’s new friend, Katie – a military child who is relocating.

The show is touring and will visit more than 65 bases and perform more than 235 shows.

This year’s tour showcases the power of friendship when Elmo and his Sesame pals help Katie open up about her fears and excitement as she deals with change and making new friends.  

As the characters board the bus, they are heading to Jacksonville, North Carolina next to Camp Lejeune's Base Theater on Wednesday, April 25.
