A promise fulfilled

Captain America is at the Fort Drum Exchange to deliver on a promise made to a World War II soldier in a new Marvel comic book that takes readers from occupied France to the front lines of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

It’s available for free at the Fort Drum PX, 10730A Enduring Freedom Drive.

Other superheroes joining “Cap” in “The Promise” by Paul Tobin include sidekick Bucky, the Human Torch, Sub Mariner and Miss America.

“The Promise” is the eighth free Marvel Comic offered exclusively through Army & Air Force Exchange Service locations since the partnership between the Department of Defense’s oldest and largest exchange service began in 2005.

The project started as a way to provide a taste of home and a bit of escapism to troops serving overseas.

For more information, authorized exchange shoppers can call the PX at 773-0063.
