#Army250 Soldier Spotlight_SGT Jyra Griggs, Veterinary Readiness Activity-Japan
U.S. Army Garrison - Japan
May 21, 2025 | 1:05
June 14 will mark the 250th Army Birthday. The central birthday theme is “This We’ll Defend,” which highlights the Army’s purpose of fighting and winning our nation’s wars.
As we celebrate #Army250 and reflect on the rich history and legacy of service, sacrifice and dedication, the U.S. Army Garrison Japan Public Affairs will also be highlighting some Soldiers to tell their story as part of our “Soldier Spotlight” series.
Sgt. Jyra Griggs, originally from Texas, is currently stationed at Yokota Air Base as an animal care specialist with Veterinary Readiness Activity – Japan.
In this vignette, Griggs talks about why she is proud to be a Soldier and her thoughts on celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday.
