LANGLEY AFB, VA. –
The 19th Annual Air Combat Command Tattoo will be held at 6:55 p.m. Wednesday in Memorial Park.
To ensure the safety of all attendees, the 1st Security Forces Squadron has limited access to the base through the LaSalle Gate only. Once inside the gate, guests are asked to take note of the posted traffic flow.
Traffic will be detoured at 6 p.m., closing Hammond Street at the traffic circle adjacent to the Officers' Club. Nealy and Sweeney Avenues will be cut off at Pine Street, and Sweeney Blvd. will be closed near the 1st Fighter Wing.
Seating is open on the lawn of Memorial Park, so all attendees are encouraged to arrive early to get a good parking spot and view of the show. Lawn chairs and blankets are welcome.
"It's a family event," said Jay Welsh, Tattoo narrator and coordinator, "something we can all relate to as Americans. It can touch and reach us in an emotional fashion. It reminds those in uniform why we serve, and reminds our civilian friends of the sacrifice made by those in uniform."
