Grab a warrior and hug 'em! Find an Armed Forces Day event near you. Heh. Apparently the DefenseLink people (there are no listed events for Kansas) don't get the same press releases I get. So, if you're a Kansan (or a border ruffian in Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska) and want to show a little love - this is what's happening in Topeka... HOT RODS AND HUMVEES THIS SATURDAY AT HEARTLAND PARK TOPEKA AS TRACK HOSTS ARMED FORCES DAY CELEBRATION TOPEKA, Kan. (May 15, 2007) - A full day of military and civilian defense displays, hot rods, band performances,... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html Sat, 19 May 2007 09:43:08 -0600 Today I had the honor of participating in the local parade, and I was just ahead of a group of redlegs from Ft Drum. They had towed arty and I was in an M-1026. The kids loved the parade and we had nothing but support from the crowds that lined both sides of the 4 mile parade route. Being outside of Ft Drum, we had quite a few people showing support for the missing 3 soldiers of 4-31 inf and the division in general. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60215 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60215 Sat, 19 May 2007 18:00:49 -0600 Do you imagine I need encouragement in this area? If the correct action is to assault (grab and hug) a member of the military, then every day is "Armed Forces Day" for the SugarButtons Brigade. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60211 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60211 Sat, 19 May 2007 13:03:44 -0600 I don't see any events listed on the DoD site for Washington, either. I plan on taking part in a local rally with the Operation Support Our Troops gang here in Issaqauh. Unfortunately it is cool and damp - surprise! heh. Happy Armed Forces Day to all military and vets! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60208 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/armed_forces_da.html#comment-60208 Sat, 19 May 2007 10:55:52 -0600
