Saturday, May 19 is Armed Forces Day, a day commemorating members of any U.S. military branch and their service to our country. It was designated by a Presidential Proclamation by U.S. President Harry S. Truman on February 27, 1950.

Armed Forces Day is also a day designated by federal law (36 U.S.C. §902) for displaying the National League of POW/MIA Families flag at government buildings throughout the nation including the White House, VA medical centers, and at military installations.

Check your local Utah city or county government website or military base website for Armed Forces Day events near you.

Utah courts see increasing numbers of people representing themselves in their own cases. Many Utahns rely on legal clinics and legal aid programs for an understanding of the laws and court processes that affect them.

On May 19 support everyone's access to justice by participating in the Law Day 5k Run and Walk. The race starts at the Quinney Law Library and winds through the University of Utah campus.

The $25 entry fee raises funds for And Justice for All, which provides legal aid to low income and disabled Utahns. The 5k is open to walkers, runners, strollers, and anyone who wants to try the course or be a spectator.

Register online, or on the day of the race from 7:00am to 7:45am.
