Help Commemorate
the 100th Anniversary

For Families

The Army Reserve Soldier succeeds only because of the support of Army Reserve Families. For 100 years, the patriotism and commitment of families have enabled the service of America's Warrior-Citizens.

Throughout this historic year, show your support for the Army Reserve Soldiers and Veterans in your family by helping commemorate the 100th Anniversary.

Listed below are a few ways you can honor your Army Reserve Soldier and the 100th Anniversary of the Army Reserve.

  • Host a 100th Birthday party on April 23rd, 2008. If you really catch the mood, put 100 candles on the cake to represent the 100 years of the Army Reserve.
  • Send a care package to your Army Reserve Soldier or another Soldier who is stationed abroad. Your local Public Affairs Officer (PAO) can help identify a deployed Army Reserve Soldier. Email 100th@USAR.army.mil for your local PAO's contact information.
