The United States Army will celebrate its 250th anniversary this Saturday, June 14, and Fort Knox is joining in on the festivities.
“We invite everyone to come celebrate with us at the General George Patton Museum of Leadership, located just off post,” said Fort Knox Garrison Commander Colonel Chris Ricci. “The museum is hosting a free and open to the public Army birthday celebration event on June 14 from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
The event will kick off with a swearing-in ceremony where about 10 future soldiers will recite the Oath of Enlistment.
“Following an opening ceremony, the museum’s going to unveil a new museum exhibit all about Fort Knox’s rich history, and then there’s going to be a cake cutting ceremony and brief remarks from an installation leader,” Ricci said.
All are welcome to attend. Visit the U.S. Army Fort Knox Facebook page for more information.
