Title: Citizens to salute troops over airwaves Post by: Soldier4Christ on April 01, 2006, 08:30:31 AM Ham-radio operators will make equipment available in public places
During National Military Appreciation Month in May, amateur radio operators from all over the world will allow people in their communities to express gratitude to members of the U.S. armed forces over two-way radios. The event, called ARMAD, Amateur Radio Military Appreciation Day, will take place May 27. Founded in Fort Wayne, Ind., the organization will have operators around the world meet in public locations, such as shopping centers, parks, hospitals and sporting events, to allow people in their communities to thank and express support to members of the military – as well as veterans, members of the reserves, the National Guard and coalitions forces. ARMAD also hopes to educate our youth about the sacrifices present and past generations have made to secure America's freedom. ARMAD has been involved in Rally For America, in Fort Wayne. The event attracted more than 25,000 attendees. |
