Event Details
You should go to this year’s FREE, family friendly, rain or shine event 10AM-4PM! This year’s timing will be historically significant. Our country will be celebrating the conclusion of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution 1776-2026 as well as the birthday of the United States Army.
In addition, Military Service Day’s 11th anniversary symbolizes the unwavering support of our donors and volunteers that has been instrumental in creating an event known regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Join us for a great day at the historic past home of General George S. Patton Jr. and experience the combined support of the U.S. Military, Veteran, Law Enforcement, History and Re-enactor Equipment Community.
For 2026 the event will present two awards: the Joanne Holbrook Patton Writing Prize for high school and college students and the Dr. Howard E. Stone Jr. Award for Excellence in Veteran Mental Health Treatment.
See speakers, displays, demonstrations, mounted horses, helicopters, operating tanks and equipment!
100% funded by donors, not government funded.
Our Mission: To share military histories as a positive community engagement to benefit education and awareness of American service of all kinds.
