PHOTOS: Traveling USO Sesame Street Bus Rolls Through Fort Bragg

Come and play, everything's a-okay, friendly neighbors, yes that's where they meet... and that included Fort Bragg on Monday.

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.
