WASHINGTON (Army News Service, April 28, 2005) – Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld teamed up with two unusual heroes April 28 to show support for American troops wherever they are stationed.

Rumsfeld appeared with Marvel Comics action heroes Captain America and Spiderman, who visited the Pentagon to distribute an issue of “The New Avengers” bearing the logo of the DoD “America Supports You” program, designed to recognize American military members for their service and sacrifice.

A throng of fans of Marvel Comics lined the main concourse of the Pentagon for the event.

“This is about supporting the troops who are supporting our country all across the world,” Rumsfeld said. “I present to you – Spiderman!”
