On the heels of a successful visit to Washington D.C., we kicked off 2026 with our annual investor meeting and as you can see from this newsletter, we haven’t stopped since. We always look for opportunities to showcase Fort Knox and the Greater Fort Knox region. Arming our partners and community leaders with knowledge and first-hand experiences is important too, because they also serve as ambassadors and advocates for Fort Knox.
Seeing the commitment to our military families with places like the Active Heroes Retreat Center reinforces just how special the Greater Fort Knox Region is. Never was it more evident than when one of our own, Staff Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, was recently laid to rest. The tremendous outpouring of support our community showed for this hometown hero and his family demonstrated the deep appreciation we all have for Soldiers and their families.
As summer approaches, thousands of college ROTC cadets will come to Fort Knox for Cadet Summer Training, the Army’s largest training event. It is not lost on us that these future Army officers may soon be in harm’s way leading Soldiers like Staff Sgt Pennington. It is a privilege to serve a community that is committed to keeping Fort Knox strong and doing all we can to support our military.
Warm regards,
