This weekend representatives from the 414th Contract Support Brigade including Maj. Robert Kang and Maj. Ray Dapat and leadership from U.S. Army Garrison Italy HHC including Cpt. Joe Hart and 1st Sgt. Jonathan Risher, along with their families, took part in the 7th Paper Rose Festival in Vigardolo di Monticello Conte Otto, a town the 414th partners with as part of the Community Alliance Program.
“Participating as a military representative is a great opportunity to connect with the community, interact with local residents, and build positive relationships. Said Maj. Ray Dapat, 414th Contracting Support Brigade. “Moreover, it helps foster goodwill and create positive impression of the USA and the US Army, demonstrating our commitment to engaging with the community in a meaningful way.”
Participating in the Paper Rose Festival in Monticello Conte Otto as a military representative holds significant importance from a community relations outreach standpoint. It provides an opportunity to foster positive community relations, promotes patriotism and national pride, and educates and informs the public. Our presence at the festival as U.S. Army representatives can help strengthen the bond between the U.S. and the local community and showcase the military’s contribution to the nation.
