MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. --  Team Minot is gearing up to welcome military retirees from across the state to this year’s Military Retiree Appreciation Day Sept. 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Jimmy Doolittle Center on Minot Air Force Base. Any retiree of the United States Military is invited to participate.

A long-honored tradition here, Military Retiree Appreciation Day offers retirees presentations and an information fair, with speakers discussing a variety of topics including VA entitlements, TRICARE updates, finance and legal office information. Retirees also have the opportunity to participate in a B-52 tour and a visit to one of the missile training facilities, beginning at 10 a.m. If interested in participating in the tours, please meet at the Jimmy Doolittle Center at 9:45 a.m.

The rest of the base is also excited to offer deals throughout the afternoon to honor these esteemed guests, including: a half price lunch buffet at the Jimmy Doolittle Center, Rockers and Rough Riders Pizza; three free games of open bowling with free shoes at Rough Rider Lanes Bowling Center; 18 holes for the price of nine at Rough Rider Golf Course (call 723-3164 for tee time); free tour of the McAdoo Fitness Center from 10 to 11 a.m.; 40 percent off purchase on the retail floor of the Arts & Crafts Center; free car wash from Auto Hobby; and free night at the RV FamCamp from Outdoor Recreation (first come, first served). Complimentary flu shots and hors d’oeuvres will also be available throughout the event.

Military Retiree Appreciation Day is a small way for the men and women of Minot AFB to say thank you to military retirees across the state of North Dakota and beyond. Your dedicated service and the sacrifices you made for our country will be forever valued and never forgotten. We hope to see you soon!
