JUNE MONTHLY THEMES
The U.S. Army Birthday commemorates the establishment of the Army on June 14, 1775, and honors more than two centuries of service, sacrifice, and commitment to the Nation. This observance recognizes the generations of Soldiers, Civilians, Families, and Veterans who have contributed to the Army's legacy of defending freedom, supporting communities, and answering the call to serve. It serves as a time to reflect on the Army's proud history, celebrate the strength and resilience of today's force, and reaffirm the values of duty, honor, leadership, and selfless service that continue to guide Soldiers into the future.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday observed on June 19 and commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. This observance marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth serves as a time for reflection, education, and celebration, honoring the resilience, strength, and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It also reinforces the importance of freedom, equality, and continued commitment to building a more inclusive nation.
ARMY PaYS PARTNER CITY OF SAVANNAH JUNETEENTH FINE ARTS FESTIVAL
By Samuel I. Armstrong
Army PaYS partner City of Savannah will host the 4th annual Savannah Juneteenth Fine Arts Festival in partnership with Chosen for the Arts. The multi-day celebration has become one of the region's premier Juneteenth events, bringing together artists, educators, performers, community leaders, and residents to honor the historical significance of Juneteenth while celebrating African American culture, achievement, and community unity.
The Savannah Juneteenth Fine Arts Festival is more than a celebration, it is a cultural movement rooted in freedom, education, and preserving the meaning of Juneteenth within the Savannah community. The festival features live music, fine art exhibitions, cultural performances, food vendors, educational programming, and scholarship-focused events designed to engage attendees of all ages.
This year's lineup of festivities includes the Dreams Fulfilled Scholarship Gala, the Lunch & Learn Series, the Miss Savannah Juneteenth Scholarship Pageant, the Jubilee Sky Fireworks Show, and Jubilee Pour, among other community-centered events.
While the current Fine Arts Festival format marks its fourth consecutive year, Savannah's Juneteenth roots date back generations. Local observances began after African Americans in Savannah learned of their emancipation during the post-Civil War era. The modern festival structure has been active since at least 2022, when the City of Savannah partnered with the Daughters of Mary Magdalene to host the Original Juneteenth Festival at Wells Park. Since then, the event has continued to grow in both attendance and community impact, becoming a signature cultural celebration in coastal Georgia.
The Army PaYS Program extends its appreciation to the City of Savannah and Chosen for the Arts for their continued partnership and commitment to strengthening the community through education, culture, and opportunity. Events such as the Savannah Juneteenth Fine Arts Festival reflect the shared values of leadership, service, and community engagement that help create lasting impact for future generations.

HONORING 251 YEARS OF SERVICE: FORT KNOX AND FORT CAMPBELL CELEBRATE THE U.S. ARMY’S BIRTHDAY
By Gabriel Street
The United States Army will celebrate its 251st birthday on June 14, 2026, with commemorative events taking place across installations nationwide, including Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. Steeped in Army tradition and heritage, both installations are expected to honor the milestone through celebrations that highlight military history, physical fitness, esprit de corps, and community involvement.
At Fort Knox, the Army's 251st birthday celebration will begin early in the morning with a large-scale installation run or walk centered around Brooks Parade Field, an event that has previously drawn thousands of participants and included aerial flyovers to kick off the day with energy and tradition. Following the run, Soldiers will participate in a formal ceremony honoring the Army's history, featuring remarks from senior leaders and displays of unit pride that reinforce discipline, unity, and more than two centuries of service. A traditional Army birthday cake-cutting ceremony will also be held at key locations across the installation, symbolizing the bond between generations of Soldiers, often with the oldest and youngest service members sharing the moment. Additionally, Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) activities such as 5K and 8K races and community events will provide opportunities for Soldiers, families, and civilians to come together in celebration.
Meanwhile, Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) will conduct its own dynamic and operationally focused celebration. The installation traditionally emphasizes unit pride, physical readiness, and airborne/air assault heritage. The day will include division-level formations, physical training events, and demonstrations that highlight the capabilities of its Soldiers. Much like Fort Knox, Fort Campbell will include the Army birthday cake-cutting ceremony and leadership remarks that connect today's force to its historic roots.
Fort Knox and Fort Campbell installations will use the Army's 251st birthday not only as a celebration but as a reaffirmation of purpose. Through runs, ceremonies, and community events, both installations will honor the sacrifices of past Soldiers while preparing the next generation to carry the mission forward. These celebrations serve as a powerful reminder that, even after 251 years, the Army remains committed to defending the nation and upholding the values that have defined it since 1775.
ARMY RETIRED MAJOR FINDS SUCCESS AFTER SERVICE WITH CITY OF HARKER HEIGHTS
By Frank McNeil 
 Retired MAJ Rodnerus Palmer, a former Army Human Resources Officer, is setting a powerful example for service members transitioning to civilian careers. Through the SkillBridge program, he connected with a PaYS partner, the City of Harker Heights, where he participated in an internship that prepared him for his next chapter after military service. This hands-on experience gave him valuable insight into the organization and allowed him to take proactive steps toward a smooth transition. Later, with the use of the PaYS program, Rodnerus successfully secured full-time employment as a Human Resources Manager.
Rodnerus draws on his Army experience, which aligns closely with his role at the City of Harker Heights. He put those skills and connections to work by helping plan and execute a successful signing ceremony between the U.S. Army and the city, showcasing his ability to serve as an effective liaison. His professionalism and contributions left a lasting impression on city officials and helped strengthen the partnership between the military and the Harker Heights community.
"The PaYS Program has been a tremendous resource in my transition process," said Rodnerus. "I'm truly grateful I was introduced to it. Knowing I had a guaranteed interview with the City of Harker Heights gave me peace of mind and a real sense of direction. I've come to love Central Texas and fully intend to stay here after retiring. Programs like PaYS make that possible and I encourage every transitioning Soldier to take full advantage of it."
Rondnerus' journey from internship to full-time employment highlights the value of early participation in the Army PaYS Program and the impact of structured transition resources. By connecting with employers before retirement, he was able to explore civilian career options, build meaningful relationships, and smoothly transition into his next chapter. His experience serves as an inspiring example of strategic career planning, showing that with the right resources and community partnerships, a successful move from military to civilian life is entirely achievable.
A PROUD MOTHER AND ARMY LEADER: COL FRAZIER SPEAKS AT SON'S ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING (AIT) GRADUATION
By Ryan Streater
COL Samantha J. Frazier, Director of the Army's Soldier for Life Program (SFL), served as the guest speaker for an Air Defense Artillery Advanced Individual Training graduation ceremony May 1, 2026, at Fort Sill, OK. While the moment placed her before a formation of newly trained Soldiers, it also placed her in a role that was deeply personal: a proud mother watching her son SPC Dequandre Moore complete an important milestone in his own Army journey.
 The ceremony marked the transition of newly graduated Soldiers into the Air Defense Artillery branch, one of the Army's critical warfighting specialties responsible for protecting forces from aerial and missile threats in a complex operational environment. For the graduates, the day represented the completion of demanding training and the beginning of their responsibility to serve as disciplined, technically proficient members of the Army team.

For COL Frazier, this graduation carried a unique meaning. As a senior Army leader, she spoke to the formation about service, discipline, and character. As a mother, she watched her son stand among the graduates after completing his transformation from civilian, to Basic Combat Training graduate, to Air Defense Artillery Soldier. His accomplishment reflected the values she has spent her career promoting, while also showing his decision to build a path of his own in uniform.
During her remarks, COL Frazier reminded the graduates that becoming a Soldier is not limited to completing training or receiving a certificate. It is a commitment to live the Army Values, support teammates, serve with purpose and represent the Army with professionalism in and out of uniform.
"Being a Soldier for Life starts now," COL Frazier said. "It's about how you carry yourself, how you treat people and how you represent this profession every single day, both in and out of uniform."
COL Frazier encouraged the graduating Soldiers to embrace the responsibility that comes with serving in Air Defense Artillery and to understand the trust placed in them by their leaders.
The graduation served as a reminder that the Army is more than a career. It is a lifelong commitment to service, values and leadership. For COL Frazier and her son, the day reflected both a shared legacy of service and the beginning of a new path, one that he will continue to define through his own dedication, growth and contributions to the Army.
