Fleet Landing celebrates veterans at 2017 Military Ball

Posted

Fleet Landing honored over 150 veterans at its 2017 Military Ball in October.

Members from all five service branches — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard — started the evening with a cocktail hour and welcome address

from Col. Pete Edmonds, chairperson of this year’s Military Ball. After the national

anthem, attendees enjoyed dinner and dancing, featuring music from Express Sound.
