Members of the 451st Army Band of Fort Snelling, Minn., played a variety of songs June 14, 2018, in the outdoor patio area of McCoy’s Community Center, where food was being served during the installation observance of the Army’s 243rd birthday at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The day also featured free car washes at the car wash managed by the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (DFMWR) and a lunch celebration at McCoy's. All festivities were managed by DFMWR.
Army Bands provide music throughout the spectrum of military operations to instill in our soldiers the will to fight and win, foster the support of our citizens, and promote our national interests at home and abroad.
