SPECIAL NEWS

On Memorial Day 2013, somewhere in Afghanistan, a group of solders threw a party to celebrate the yearly summer tradition in Wisconsin know as Country USA. The Bravo Battery of the 1-121st Field Artillery out of Plymouth WI couldn’t be at Country USA this year, so they decided to bring Country USA to them. Wearing Country USA gear and proudly displaying a Country USA banner, for one day these brave young Americans almost felt like they were home! A documentary video of the event was made to commemorate the spirit of our solders proudly representing the United States of America and fighting for our freedom. In the video the Bravo Battery of the 1-121st Field Artillery presented Country USA with an American Flag that they carried into combat along with a certificate of authenticity.

The 5 minute video is really special and Country USA will share it with our fans by broadcasting it at the festival on our new "State of the Art" HD twin Jumbotrons prior to the Mass Military Swear-in Ceremony on Saturday, June 29th at approximately 5pm. We plan on debuting it sometime sooner T.B.D. The video is brought to you, "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue"… Watch our FaceBook page for an announcement soon.
