Salute battery members fire rounds during the Salute to the Union portion of the Fort Leavenworth Independence Day celebration July 4, 2019 at Merritt Lake. As each of the names of the 50 states are read in order of their entrance into the union, the state flag is waved and a round is fired. The annual event also included children’s activities, food vendors and a fireworks display. Photo by Tisha Swart-Entwistle, Combined Arms Center Public Affairs Office.
