Born on the battlefields of the Civil War, the Armed Services YMCA saw its start with the iconic coffee wagon serving hot coffee and food to American troops. In 2021, we celebrate 160 years of continuous service to military members and their families from all six branches of military service and invite you to join us as we honor a long legacy of Angels of the Battlefield.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The Armed Services YMCA is actively monitoring the incidence of COVID-19 in our region. We are following guidance from local health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding large gatherings.

At this time, our 160th Anniversary Celebration and 15th Annual Angels of the Battlefield Awards Gala will take place in-person, as planned. 

As we get closer to the Gala, we will inform our guests of requirements that may include (1) proof of vaccination or compliance with on-site testing; (2) wearing masks indoors, except while eating; and (3) social distancing.  If the updated guidelines impact the Gala in a substantive way, we will communicate that as soon as possible.  Please know that the health and safety of our guests is our priority.
