ARMAD is an annual NON - POLITICAL Amateur Radio Public Service project that stands for Amateur Radio Military Appreciation Day. We work with National Military Appreciation Month during the Month of May. We also provide other events, and work with other groups as requested during the year.
We ask Amateur Radio Operators from around the world to team up during this effort to allow the people from our communities to gather at public locations such as shopping centers, parks, VA hospitals, and sporting events to express verbal positive support "LIVE" over two way radio for members of the Military, Veterans, Reserves, National Guard, Retired, Coalition Forces, First Responders, and Military Support Groups.
Many of us have friends, relatives, and neighbors that are active duty, and past members of the armed forces. ARMAD gives us the chance to support one another, and to express our thanks and appreciation to those that sacrifice and serve in the Armed Forces.
ARMAD would like to thank all of you that helped us have a great event this past Memorial Day weekend. We had a great turnout, and the program was very inspiring. We were bless to have The Indiana National Guard Soldier of The Year Terrence McKinney.
We hope that you will join us in 2012 for our annual event and we invite all communities nation wide to hold an ARMAD event in your community.
You can view the event by watching the video to the right. The story was featured on both WANE and Indiana’s News Center.
ARMAD 2012 planning is in the works! Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
