A message from All American 6!
All American Family,
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to impact every aspect of our lives, it’s with a heavy AIRBORNE heart that we announce the cancellation of All American Week 2020, originally scheduled for May 18-21. This decision was not made lightly, but it was made to safeguard the health and well-being of our All American Family. We felt an obligation to inform you as early as possible for planning and travel considerations.
While we are certainly disappointed, we are working towards incorporating some of the signature events with the Division change of command ceremony this summer. This includes the Division memorial event, Division Hall of Fame induction, and of course the Division Run! We will share more information as this is developed.
As America’s Guard of Honor, it’s important that we do our part. The best way to slow the spread of this disease is to limit contact, social distance from other, rigorous hand washing habits, and by all means stay at home when you are sick. We will lead through this and I promise, All American Week 2021 will be one for the history books!
ATW!
