The 10th Mountain Division
The 10th Mountain Division, stationed on Fort Drum, New York, has been the most deployed unit of the U.S. Military since 2001. In 2012, after being deployed for more than 10 years, the soldiers returned to Fort Drum. The AmeriCU Team, along with its members and the Fort Drum community, wanted to do something special to welcome them home, so they worked with credit union officials, the Fort Drum community, and countless sponsors eager to support the soldiers, to create the Salute to the Troops Tribute Concert.
