Fort Bragg tree arrives

Fort Bragg tree arrives; troops can get their trees this week

http://www.fayobserver.com/military/...fb8a06efa.html

"There was no fanfare when the tree arrived - a 22-foot Fraser fir strapped to the back of a flat-bed tow truck.

But as Fort Bragg crews worked to trim the tree and stand it upright, a small group gathered to watch in appreciation.

Later this week, the same tree will become the centerpiece of Fort Bragg's annual holiday celebration. It also will help mark the start of the holiday season on the nation's largest military installation...."

And for the kids.

"...Stroupe said there also will be a promise of "snow" - as crews will truck in several tons of ice to create two 20-foot ramps for sledding and a 20-by-20 foot snow play area...."

Details are in the linked story.

Immediately apparent this reporting isn't from a norethern metro-plex.

Nice indigenous fir; neat.
