ARMAD is an annual NON - POLITICAL Amateur Radio Public Service project that stands for Amateur Radio Military Appreciation Day. We work with National Military Appreciation Month during the Month of May. We also provide other events, and work with other groups as requested during the year. We ask Amateur Radio Operators from around the world to team up during this effort to allow the people from our communities to gather at public locations such as shopping centers, parks, VA hospitals, and sporting events to express verbal positive support ”LIVE” over two way radio for members of the Military, Veterans, Reserves, National Guard, Retired, Coalition Forces, First Responders, and Military Support Groups. Many of us have friends, relatives, and neighbors that are active duty, and past members of the armed forces. ARMAD gives us the chance to support one another, and to express our thanks and appreciation to those that sacrifice and serve in the Armed Forces.
Emery McClendon with our First Lady, Laura Bush.
Emery, our prayers and thoughts are with you this weekend as you celebrate the life of Katherine, your beloved mother. If you ever need anything please let us know. Our heart breaks with you.
God Bless,

Worthy cause; sorry for your loss Mr. McClendon. Would love to hear about your organization on my show and have added it to my blogroll.
I feel your loss Mr. McClendon. I lost my mom May 15, 1998 and still mourn the loss of a friend as well as a great roll model.
She taught me to always tell the truth and not let lies go by. That is one of the reasons I am writing you now. I received a letter from a friend wanting to know if the statements in it were true. I went over it and added my findings. Most were lies or only half truths.
They were from an outfit saying they were from you and the Billy Graham Group. Please say it ain’t so for I have always believed in Billy Graham and feel he would not put such garbage on line or speak it from the pulpit.
