The National D-Day Memorial Armed Forces Day 5K

May 18, 2021 by mmrice

During the week of May 10th, I was able to work on many different tasks while at the National D-Day Memorial. I helped out with a lunchbox lecture behind the scenes that the education staff was holding, worked on some spreadsheet work in regards to donor information, and helped prepare for the Armed Forces Day 5K. Each year, the Memorial hosts and annual Armed Forces Day 5K, though this year was a bit different. With the global pandemic at hand, the 5K was virtual this year. The above image is the shirts I helped sort into different mailing bags, add a few extra goodies in, and mail off. Despite being a virtual 5K, many people participated across the country and the Memorial staff was still able to kick off the event via Zoom and Facebook Live.
