Fort Monroe, home of the TRADOC Band, is just 8 miles from Langley AFB where the USAF Heritage of America Band is located. The bands have cooperated on many occasions. 'It was a real honor,' said SSgt John Garcia. 'The weather was beautiful, it was good to see such a great crowd and, actually, the music was fun, too.'
