FISH 4th of July
An incredibly busy 4th of July weekend. July 1, we presented a car to a sailor. July 2, we heard Col. Morgan sing God Bless America at the Kansas City Monarch’s Stadium and did amazing! July 3rd, the 15th Military Police Brigade played softball on the Monarch’s field before the game and the Monarch’s provided 140 tickets for our active duty military and their families. July 4th, FISH had the honor of attending the 4th of July event at Ft. Leavenworth. No better way to cap off Independance Day than to be surrounded by hundreds of our soldiers and their families to celebrate freedom. We hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend as well…
