HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD, Ga. - Children at Hunter's Child Development Center on Leonard Neal Rd., celebrated the U.S. Army's 237th birthday on June 14 with a outdoor party that included lots of activities and lots of lemonade to wash away the heat. Beginning with the Army song, the day-long celebration included an obstacle course, sack races, a sandbag toss, patriotic tattoos and hula hooping. Soldiers, spouses, and siblings all came to join in the fun and to do their part to help celebrate.
