Members of the Pennsylvania National Guard, Fort Indiantown Gap employees and residents of surrounding communities attended the installation’s annual holiday tree lighting ceremony Dec. 6. The Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, Maj. Gen. Mark J. Schindler and Indiantown Gap Garrison Commander, Col. Kevin D. Potts were joined by Santa Claus, after he arrived on a Stryker armored vehicle, in lighting the tree. This tradition at Fort Indiantown Gap goes back to the earliest days of the installation in the 1940s. On a brisk evening filled with occasional snow flurries, guests were also entertained by music provided by a joint Pennsylvania Army and Air National Guard Band and the Northern Lebanon Elementary School Choir. Following the formalities, guests were treated to hot chocolate and cookies inside Arrowheads Community Club, and children were invited to meet with Santa.
