The 25th Annual Feast of Saint Barbara

In honor of Saint Barbara, join us as we commemorate 25 years of artillery tradition, fellowship, and devotion at our Silver Jubilee. For twenty-five years, we have gathered to honor Saint Barbara, the Patron Saint of Field Artillery, and to celebrate the traditions and enduring bonds of friendship that unite our artillery family. As we commemorate this silver anniversary, Kim and Andy Cole, together with the Rucker-Ragland Chapter, invite you to join us for an evening of remembrance, celebration, and camaraderie. We look forward to honoring the traditions of the past, celebrating the friendships of the present, and raising a glass to the years ahead. An Evening of Tradition and Celebration Join us for an evening featuring dinner, the traditional ceremony and punch service, a special film presentation, and fellowship with old and new friends.
