What a weekend!  The 2009 Essence Music Festival will go down as one of my most memorable Army experiences.  To be apart of such a powerful machine that brought in thousands of people to a city full of spirit and life was an absolute honor.  One thing is for sure, "Army Strong" was out front and in the lead!  The countless Army Soldiers and Civilians we had in support of this event is the reason why the Army was such a big hit!  A lot of people lives have been changed with opportuniities that were discovered this weekend, just by our Army Strentgh in Action Exhibit.  I personally had the opportunity to meet people that I would have never had the opportunity to meet and engage with.  A special thank you to BG Pinckney for the profile picture!  

Next up...The Centennial NAACP Convention!!
