Planning is well underway for a large scale event at Tigertown to celebrate Armed Forces Day on May 19.

All Veteran Organizations and veteran support organizations are invited to participate. There is no charge to have a table at the event.

All veterans are urged to come out and support the JROTC programs in our county.
