CARY, NC ? In honor of Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 21, the Pantry Inc. announced yesterday it has teamed up with the USO of North Carolina in a campaign that supports U.S. troops in Raleigh, Charlotte and Fayetteville.
Select Kangaroo Express stores will host community events featuring military vehicles. Additionally, in each city, a member of the armed forces will be recognized for his or her service to our country, while being presented with a race-day package to attend NASCAR?s Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte.
?Kangaroo Express is asking its guests to not only come out to celebrate the bravery of our men and women in uniform on Armed Forces Day, but to join us as we continue to salute our troops through the summer and beyond,? said John Fisher, senior vice president of marketing for The Pantry. ?Our new website, KESalute.com, is in itself a salute to past celebrations of our military and a preview into the future as we continue to support the troops through programs such as the USO and the American Widows Project.?
The KESalute website is a tribute to military personnel and their families, inviting and chronicling military support from Kangaroo Express customers across 13 states. Kangaroo Express invites customers to submit videos and photos on its Facebook page for possible inclusion on the KESalute website.
?Armed Forces Day was established as a day for citizens to come together to thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country,? said John Falkenbury, president and and COO of USO of North Carolina. ?We are excited to team up with Kangaroo Express on this special day to bring the community together in recognition of the men and women in uniform that, stationed in our own backyard, have gone above and beyond in their service to this great country.?
