ARMY'S ARMY HAPPENINGS

On Monday, May 31, the Army’s Army attended the final event for 31 Days of Glory. The Downtown Alliance hosted the 10th Annual Glory Days Downtown Memorial Day Celebration. Members were there to help with the set-up and break down of the event, as well as create awareness about the Army’s Army. There were family-oriented activities, which included arts and crafts, food vendors, a car show, a bake sale, live music, the “Patriot’s Crit” Bicycle Races, Kids Corner, vintage military equipment and gear exhibits, carriage rides, and a formal ceremony at Freedom Memorial Park.

We would like to thank all the members that volunteered their time and efforts for this event! Click here to see pictures.
