Steel City Salutes the Troops is an open-house for the military and veteran community in the western Pa. region. It’ an opportunity for the public to come out and see some of the personnel and equipment from the units in the area as well as historical equipment and reenactments. There was representation from the Pa. National Guard, both Army and Air; the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps Reserve; and the U.S. Coast Guard. It’s also an opportunity for veteran-owned and supportive businesses and organizations to showcase their products and services.
