Today is: Armed Forces Day
Staff reports
Armed Forces Day pays tribute to those serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, including those in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard, as well as those in the National Guard and Reserve. It takes place during Armed Forces Week, which begins the Saturday before the day, and during National Military Appreciation Month, which also includes holidays such as Military Spouse Appreciation Day, V-E Day, and Memorial Day.
On July 26, 1947, President Truman signed the National Security Act, which brought the branches of the military under the National Military Establishment. It was renamed the Department of Defense in 1949. President Truman issued a proclamation calling for the first celebration to be held on May 20.
Bojangles camo Big Bo Box honors families of fallen and wounded soldiers
The Daily Herald
Bojangles will honor families of fallen and wounded veterans as part of National Military Appreciation Month by releasing a camo-themed Big Bo Box in partnership with Folds of Honor.
The promotion, which runs through June 27, is an effort to raise $750,000 for Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to families of fallen and/or wounded soldiers with $1 from each purchase being donated directly to the military nonprofit. Now, families can enjoy their favorite Big Bo Box meals packaged in an eye-catching – or should we say invisible – camouflaged box, while supporting an organization that champions our military heroes, a press release states.

May is a significant month for the military in terms of scheduled observances. And the military, through the operations at Travis Air Force Base, is an integral part of the local community.
The base in Fairfield had a total economic impact in the 2016 federal fiscal year of $1.65 billion. It’s the latest economic impact study from the base and covers the time period of Oct. 1, 2015, through Sept. 30, 2016.
Base operations have expanded since then, to include work to prepare Travis for the new KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft.
Nearly half of those who work at the base live off base and as such are members of the local communities.
