“We truly appreciate your generosity and commitment to make Fort McCoy such a vibrant place for all of us,” Rynes said to the 2024 event crowd. “To all of our military families, thank you for your service and sacrifice. … We celebrate more than just the holidays. We celebrate our strong sense of community, the bonds we share, and the spirit of giving that makes this time of year so special.”

The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
