Any Army supporter can use the app, and they expect it to include photos and videos, provide information on the US Army as well as connections to the Army's sites such as the recruiting site <a href="http://www.goarmy.com/" target="_blank">GoArmy.com</a> and the official <a href="http://www.army.mil/" target="_blank">US Army site</a>. It's available now as a free download in iTunes [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/army-strong-stories/id417760767?mt=8" target="_blank">link</a>].</p>
