 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. The Blue Star event is a way to honor the families that have loved ones deployed overseas and for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Major General R. Martin Umbarger received the Indiana Blue Star Award of Appreciation at the seventh annual Blue Star Memorial event. Now it's known nationally, I have now discovered over the years in this job that his fellow tags and people throughout the Army chain of command recognized Martin Umbarger as really one of the very finest officers anywhere in the Army, one of the finest ever to serve as an Adjutant General. So we're really proud of him, we feel very lucky to have had him. Players from the Indiana Pacers, 400 motorcycle riders and many other organizations were in attendance for this year's Blue Star Memorial. That's the Army Now.
