The Retiree Appreciation Days will kick off with the Retiree Golf Tournament at Ryder Golf

Course Friday, Oct. 18 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Throughout the day on Saturday, Oct. 19, there will be resources available for retirees at the

Soldier Support Center from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. with appointments on a first come, first serve

basis including ID card services and assistance preparing wills, living wills, advanced directives

Center. In addition, medical and dental services will be available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at

WAMC:

  • Information resources available will include Family Advocacy, nutrition, BehavioralHealth, Blood Donor Center, Chaplain/Pastoral care, vision and optometry information and more.

Veterans and families can participate in a Shred-A-Thon to dispose of old paperwork, documents, computer hard drives and cell phones without the worry of an identify thief picking it out of your garbage. The Shred-A-Thon is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fort Liberty

Classified Material Destruction Facility located in Building C-1629 on Ardennes Street.

A Retiree Bowling Tournament will complete this year’s Retiree Appreciation Days. The tournament will begin at 2 p.m. at Dragon Lanes on Fort Liberty. Pre-registration is required for golf and bowling tournaments.

Veterans must have a valid DOD ID card to receive services. Veterans without a DOD ID should bring their DD214 and two forms of identification (such as driver license, passport, birth

certificate) to ID Card Services in the Soldier Support Center. For more information on acceptable forms of identification, visit here or call (910) 396-9339.
