MCON was created by veterans to bring the military community together for an epic celebration. It's the only annual event celebrating what we love and miss about military culture. We’re an organization that values service, purpose, and sacrifice. Our mission is to create community, facilitate connection and improve the well-being of those who served and their families. MCON は退役軍人によって設立され、軍事コミュニティを結集して壮大な祝賀会を開催しました。 これは、軍事文化について私たちが愛し、懐かしむものを祝う唯一の毎年恒例のイベントです。私たちは奉仕、目的、犠牲を大切にする組織です。私たちの使命は、コミュニティを形成し、つながりを促進し、奉仕した人々とその家族の幸福を向上させることです。
