Default Circus Celebrates Relationship with Military

Ringling Brothers has given tribute the military and its members during each and every show for years. They have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with the US armed forces as well as The Fisher House Foundation. The organization builds homes away from home for family members who want to stay near loved ones recovering at military or Veterans Affairs medical facilities across the country.

Recently the circus gave a special preformance which was extra special for about 100 wounded servicemembers and their families or caregivers. Ringling Bros. presented them with free tickets to the show. The tickets were distributed to the Warrior Transition Brigade, Veterans Affairs and the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md.
