 From Soju's radio and television, this is the Army Now. Armed Forces Day is a nationwide annual event that allows the public to thank and interact with military personnel. Static displays allow civilians to explore some of the equipment U.S. forces use around the globe, along with the vendors that support our various armed forces. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the day started with a 5K run open to the public. The event is a way to symbolically empathize with the hard work of military personnel. Such was the case for Holly Hurley, whose husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan. It is very motivational, and every time I started to slow down, I kept thinking he's doing so much more than I am, and I'm so excited to be running this race to represent him. Armed Forces Day is always the third weekend in May. Check with local agencies for event details. Reporting from City Island, I'm Army Sergeant Tom Bixler. That's the Army Now from Soju's radio and television in Washington.
