Operation Celebrate Freedom-a night to remember

Friday, July 9th, 2010 | Entertainment, General Interest
My experience at Fort Bragg this past Sunday on the 4th of July was outstanding! When I got there I watched the 82nd Division Band perform classic All-American songs, acapella. They are truly something you shouldn’t miss! Next, I watched the Golden Knights parachute onto the Parade Field. They almost looked like little birds in the sky when they first jumped out of the plane, and as they got closer to the ground, they opened their yellow parachutes and the kids went wild!
There were plenty of choices to eat dinner at the event and I had some delicious Southern-style BBQ. You can’t go wrong with pulled pork, fried chicken and coleslaw around here!
My favorite part of the evening was watching nationally-recognized musicians, Colt Ford and Chevelle perform!  I also had the pleasure of meeting Miss North Carolina, Adrienne Core and the bass guitarist for Chevelle.
Another rewarding event that took place was that Lt. General Helmick of the 82nd Airborne Corps, presented an Iron Mike award to The Army’s Army, for supporting military families in 2009. What a wonderful organization to be a part of!
To end the night, I watched the amazing fireworks display that really put the icing on the cake! I will definitely be back to celebrate our independence again next year!
