AmeriCU’s Salute to the Troops Tribute Concert celebrated its eleventh year as part of FMWR’s Mountainfest. The event, which was free and open to the public, was held on Wednesday, June 21.

AmeriCU Credit Union brings forth this special event as a tribute and expression of gratitude to the brave soldiers of the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division, their families, and community, for their remarkable service and selfless sacrifices in service to our nation. This year’s event featured country music artists Gabby Barrett and Maddie & Tae.

“We are grateful for our partnership with FMWR and the opportunity to host this remarkable concert, allowing us to express our gratitude to our soldiers. It has been an absolute privilege to showcase this concert for the past eleven years, and we are truly honored,” says Ron Belle, President and CEO of AmeriCU. “The generous contributions of our sponsors and volunteers have played an indispensable role in making this year’s concert a success.”

AmeriCU would like to thank the following sponsors for their support: Five Star Sponsors: Martin’s Point Health Care and Waite Toyota; Four Star Sponsors: Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes, Carthage Area Hospital, Kinney Drugs; and Media Sponsors: Wahl Media and Community Broadcasters.
