Poker Players to Raise Money for Army Relief
Fort Rucker is once again holding their annual Army Emergency Relief No Limit Texas Holdem Tournament this weekend. The event brings poker players and Army supporters together in order to put money into the reserves of the AER, or Army Emergency Relief. The AER is an organization that provides money through financial assistance to army families in need, a way for the Army to “take care of its own.” The game will begin today at 8:30 and the anticipated first-place prize will be $2,500 in cash.

Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
