Fort Lee Retiree Appreciation Day
📍 Fort Lee | 27 September

The Fort Lee Retiree Council was honored to co-host Retiree Appreciation Day alongside the Fort Lee Retirement Services Office (RSO) and the Garrison Commander. This year’s guest speaker, LTC-R Maria Bentinck, the Army’s Director of Retiree Affairs, delivered a powerful message that underscored the enduring value, future changes, and contributions of our retiree community.

We extend heartfelt thanks to all who supported and participated in making this event a success. Special appreciation goes to our sponsors, whose generosity made this day possible.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce plans for a Retiree Banquet in 2026 to cap off the next Retiree Appreciation Day on 26 September 2026. We hope to see even more of our retiree family there!
