I have decided to do an ARMY Rewind 2020! I have also, very quickly, come to the conclusion that this is a huge undertaking. Therefore, I will be uploading them in monthly installments and then combining them all at the end of the year. Enjoy! HOW TO WORK IT: It's easiest to use CTRL+F if you're on a computer/laptop. Search for a date (e.g. JAN 10) or term (e.g. YouTube, views, streams, etc.). If you're on mobile, you simply have to scroll, I apologize.
