WHAT: FLW Outdoors is opening its headquarters for 85 members of the 940th Military Police Company of the Kentucky Army National Guard based out of Walton, Ky. prior to their upcoming deployment to Iraq, which is part of the largest Kentucky Army National Guard mobilization ever.
WHEN: 10 a.m., Wednesday, February 23, 2011
WHERE: FLW Outdoors headquarters
30 Gamble Lane
Benton, Ky.
NOTES: Members of the 940th Military Police Company will visit the headquarters of FLW Outdoors and enjoy a tour of the facilities, rides in Ranger boat simulators, lunch with the staff and more.
