Picatinny - Providing America Advanced Armaments in Peace and War

Armed Forces Day

“A Tradition of Heroes”

By Myra Hess

      Picatinny held its annual Armed Forces Day celebration May 13 to honor our sons and daughters who have defended and are currently defending our nation’s freedom.

      In years past, the Arsenal opened its doors to the public to share and highlight the research, development and engineering done here and the high-tech tools and equipment provided to our soldiers.  Since September 11, however, security concerns have caused the Arsenal to keep it an in-house affair.

      Kicking off the day was the annual MWR-sponsored 5K Walk/Run.  Walkers and runners gathered in front of Bldg. 1 to join in this annual event.

      After the Walk/Run, Master of Ceremonies Richard Havrisko welcomed everyone to the day’s events and introduced the dignitaries who were in attendance.
