2010 Awards

The period of May 10-16, 2010 was celebrated as Armed Forces Week. For more than 50 years the third Saturday of May has been annually proclaimed Armed Forces Day by the President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief. Civilians in Central Kentucky were invited to join the Bluegrass Military Affairs Coalition (BMAC) to celebrate the unity and common purposes of the United States Armed Forces, and to honor dedicated American men and women in uniform who serve selflessly to preserve democracy and freedom at home and around the world in times of war and peace.

Armed Forces Week 2010 is an annual effort by the Bluegrass Military Affairs Coalition to increase public awareness about the United States Armed Forces and to express appreciation to the men and women serving in the military defending democracy and freedom.
