Albany- The Albany Marine Base's Staff NCO club hosted an Armed Forces Day Celebration. Men and women from all branches of service came together to listen to music and enjoy the company of others.

Still, Rawls says he wouldn't mind going back to war just to experience the comradery with the younger generation.
