Please Note
President Trump has announced a National
State of Emergency for the entire country,
a very rare step that points to the size of
the challenge we face. But, as we've done
with any challenge this country has faced
in the past, we will defeat Covid-19.
After much thought and discussion by
the Chairpersons for this year's
Armed Forces Week events we have decided
to postpone this year's events until May 2021.
Since this would have been our 60th year
celebrating Armed Forces week, we can still hold
our 60th event next year...because it will be actually
be our 60th celebration!!
