Fourth of July 2008 Fort Rucker Area
Where are you heading for the 4th of July? Do you stay local or do you travel with the masses to share in the excitement of the colorful skies? When you are laying there with the black backdrop and that first burst of "boom" and the rainbow of colors brightens the sky what is your first thought? Do you think of the fellow Military Soliders and Sailors who have given us the "blanket of Freedom"?
For all the citizens in the Wiregrass area I have included a brief calendar of events that will cover the FORT RUCKER area, Enterprise Alabama, Dothan AL, Montgomery AL, Panama City FL and Mexico Beach FL on the FOURTH of JULY 2008. Please remember to be safe and take a moment to be thankful for OUR NATIONS FREEDOM. BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
FORT RUCKER & ENTERPRISE AL sponsor the FREEDOM FEST on US Army Aviation FT Rucker installation.
