Local Monrovian residents pause for a break following a medical outreach promotion presented by the Armed Forces of Liberia medical corps in celebration of Armed Forces Day in Monrovia, Feb. 4. To celebrate Armed Forces Day, AFL soldiers and U.S. based mentors who are part of Operation Onward Liberty, a U.S. government-led mentorship team helping to build capacity within the AFL, participated in cleanup efforts throughout the city as well as held a medical outreach to inform local citizens about the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases, including the human immunodeficiency virus. The 55th annual Armed Forces Day will be recognized through a week-long celebration of events to include church services, public service, a public symposium and finally, a parade through the streets of Monrovia.
