10 June 2013 Army's Birthday

Bragg CSM-SGM Association Leaders,

My office is planning the week-long Fort Bragg Army's 238th Birthday Celebration coming up in June.
On June 10, there will be a Army Birthday

Cake Cutting Ceremony at four different locations on post (2 commissaries and 2 PXs).

The timeline will permit attending two of the four events (2 commissary cake cuttings are 1100-1200, and 2 PX

cake cuttings are 1230-1330). This is a great opportunity to support the Soldiers and Families at Fort Bragg at
low cost and a great way to get the

association some exposure. We will publicize the events in the Paraglide and on the Fort Bragg website/social media sites.

MORE INFO TO FOLLOW

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, Texas they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
	Never made the newspapers ~ If he had said the army "Sucks" It would have been front page. Thanks Denzel!
