EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- The El Paso Chamber is presenting the second Armed Forces Day Community Ball. It's on May 18th at the El Paso Convention Center. The community will meet the military in a unique festivity. "After last year's tremendous success, we're thrilled to host the second Armed Forces Day Community Ball," stated Andrea Hutchins, CEO of the El Paso Chamber. "This event is a testament to the deep bond between Fort Bliss and El Paso, reflecting our community's respect and appreciation for the military. As a military spouse and business leader, I've seen the unique cultures of both communities. This ball is our bridge, celebrating and uniting us in a shared experience that enriches both sides."

The event is being planned to be held each year on Armed Forces Day and they say it will be an opportunity to raise awareness of military traditions and El Paso culture.

This initiative invites El Paso residents to explore the base's many events and facilities.
