- [Male Announcer] From
Soldiers Radio and Television,

00:04.120 --> 00:05.610
this is the army now.

00:05.610 --> 00:06.620
- [Tom] Armed Forces Day

00:06.620 --> 00:09.490
is a Nationwide Annual
event, that allows the public

00:09.490 --> 00:12.330
to thank and interact
with military personnel.

00:12.330 --> 00:14.020

00:14.020 --> 00:15.560

00:19.330 --> 00:21.060
our various armed forces.

In Harrisburg Pennsylvania,
the day started with a 5K run

00:24.260 --> 00:25.630
open to the public.

00:25.630 --> 00:28.180
The event is a way to
symbolically empathize

00:28.180 --> 00:30.830
with the hard work of military personnel.

00:30.830 --> 00:32.700
Such was the case for Holly Hurley,

00:32.700 --> 00:35.297
whose husband is currently
deployed to Afghanistan.

00:35.297 --> 00:38.250
- It is very motivational, and, every time

00:38.250 --> 00:39.777
I started to slow down I kept thinking,

00:39.777 --> 00:41.557
"He's doing so much more than I am

00:41.557 --> 00:43.327
"and I'm so excited to
be running this race

00:43.327 --> 00:44.810
"to represent him."

00:44.810 --> 00:45.700
