"This event is taking place during the National Armed forces weekend on May 17, 2008. The purpose of the entire event is to say thank you to those in the Armed Forces who have selflessly sacrificed everything," Wessels said, and strongman is one of the activities planned for the event.

"The ASC athletes will compete head to head in six events over the course of the afternoon. The line-up will consist of over 25 athletes, which include David Ostlund, Jason Bergmann, Tom McClure, and many more!" said Wessels. For more details, please visit the ASC website.
