Soldiers from Joint Task Force Empire Shield and the U.S. Army New York City Recruiting Battalion, tenant units at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton, take a group photo after firing a ceremonial cannon salute toward the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) in New York Harbor, July 1, 2026. The soldiers are serving as Fort Hamilton’s ceremonial cannon‑firing team for the installation’s Sail4th 250 observance, and Independence Day celebrations. The cannon salute marks the ship’s arrival for Sail4th 250 and the International Naval Review 250, part of the nation’s 250th anniversary commemorations and one of the largest combined maritime and aerial gatherings in U.S. history.
