2017 AF Day Event

The NCMF's "What Is Cryptology" bags (proudly displayed here by the Sea Cadets) were a BIG hit at the 2017 Armed Forces & National Police Celebration.

The 2017 Armed Forces/National Police Celebration took place on Saturday, May 20th at the National Cryptologic Museum and it was a GREAT success! There was so much for visitors of ALL ages to explore and enjoy. And the weather could not have been better.

The police dog demonstrations were a huge favorite - as always. Plus, everyone enjoyed experiencing reenactments, checking out vintage police and WWII vehicles, and visiting all the great booths and tables - many of them with free goodies. In fact, the orange "What Is Cryptology" bags at the NCMF table were one of the most popular free goodies. SnoCones were the perfect treat for the day. Sponsored by the NCMF and Riverbank Associates - SnoCone lovers splurged and added marshmallow topping to their favorite flavor. Why not?!

The US Navy Silent Rifle Drill Team wowed the crowd and members of the local Maryland chapter of the Hogs and Heroes Foundation* treated kids and families to a chance to check out their fantastic motorcycles. Great news - it sounds like Hogs and Heroes may have an official table at the event next year!
