ARMY'S ARMY HAPPENINGS

Helping a Military Family in Need

This past month the Army’s Army rallied together to help a military family in great need. The Lathrop family is struggling financially and living day-to-day caring for their six children, four of whom have serious medical conditions. Thanks to our members and partners we were able to supply the Lathrop family with clothing, toys, books, household needs, and gift cards. They still need your help. If you’d like to help, please contact me.

Community Information Fair at Fort Bragg

The Army’s Army attended the Fort Bragg Community Information Fair on September 28th. The purpose of the fair was to educate our community on the many benefits that different organizations have to offer. The event was very successful and provided soldiers and their families with a wealth of information about the community. The Army’s Army was there to create awareness about what we do and to recruit new members. We would like to welcome our 63 new members!

Orientation Weekend - Another Success!
