The United States Military Academy Band was honored to be part of The #VeteransLegacy Summit. This multi-day conference was hosted by The Patterson Foundation, who works with partners to accelerate positive change by sharing fresh perspectives on strategy, contributing new ideas and providing resources. The summit was held in Sarasota, Florida and brought together leaders from government, military, philanthropy, national veterans-serving organizations and other supporting veterans. On Saturday the West Point Band participated in the dedication of #PatriotPlaza at Sarasota National Cemetery, which honored #veterans and shared the story behind The Patterson Foundations unique public-private partnership with the National Cemetery Administration. This event also featured U.S. Army combat veteran Wes Moore, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Jane Chu, and a group of Forever Miss Americas. Maj. Gen. John Rossi, commanding General of Fort Sill in Oklahoma, administered the Oath of Enlistment to a group of more than 20, making them official members of the armed forces. The West Point Band concluded the summit on Sunday with a sold out community concert at #PatriotPlaza. Photo Credit: Staff Sgt.
