    Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Liberia, addresses the gathered audience during her keynote address at the 55th annual Liberian Armed Forces Day parade at Barclay Training Center here Feb. 11. Thomas-Greenfield encouraged the Armed Forces of Liberia to continue to progress in training and understanding of military doctrine and procedures. She also announced the establishment of a U.S. government-backed training initiative to ensure continued engineering training within the AFL. The parade and military skills demonstration capped off a week of Armed Forces Day activities, which included a street cleanup and medical outreach, church services, an intra-AFL soccer match, a symposium centered on the AFL and a military ball. Following the ambassador’s remarks, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia presented Thomas-Greenfield the Distinguished Service Order on behalf of the people of Liberia.
