    Several U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are engaged in what appears to be a painting or drawing activity at easels set up on a long table in a formal meeting or conference room. The activity appears to be a team-building or recreational event, with an audience of civilians visible in the background seated in tiered seating. Multiple flags are displayed along the upper walls of the room.

    Installation leaders sign proclamations during the April Awareness Kickoff Event on April 11, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis. This was a special event to observe April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, Autism Awareness Month, Alcohol Awareness Month, and Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. It included morning and afternoon sessions with two guest speakers. One of the speakers was a survivor who, under request to remain anonymous, discussed her life experiences that covered all aspects of each monthly observance. She explained how she survived child abuse and sexual assault, dealt with autism, and overcame “self-medicating” herself by abusing alcohol. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
