Covering The U.S. Army Reserve's 118th Birthday Celebration In Philadelphia

I covered the U.S. Army Reserve’s 118th birthday celebration in Philadelphia yesterday for Reserve + National Guard Magazine.

The Army Reserve’s birthday celebration was held on the Independence Mall in front of Independence Hall.

Lt. General Robert Harter, chief of Army Reserve and commanding general, U.S. Army Reserve Command, was the main speaker and he then swore in 118 future soldiers from New Jersey and Pennsylvania.


After the ceremony, the crowd walked to Betsy Ross’s House where a re-enlistment ceremony was held. Lt. Gen Harter then cut the Army Reserve’s birthday cake.

I’ll post my piece on the Army Reserve’s 118th birthday celebration here when the magazine comes out.
