В Небраске подписали соглашение о партнерстве между военным ведомством и городом Маккук

McCOOK, Neb. – The Nebraska Military Department will kick off a new initiative to strengthen ties between the Nebraska Military Department and the McCook community during two ceremonies and other activities scheduled for August 19-20. The Community Partnership Program is a Nebraska Military Department (NMD) initiative designed to strengthen the NMD’s ability to support local citizens and communities by recognizing and developing enduring relationships within local communities while carrying out activities to build trust, sustain open lines of communication, and to enhance the overall readiness for emergency responses. McCook will be the twelfth Nebraska community to join CPP, joining Wahoo, Beatrice, Grand Island, North Platte, Plattsmouth, Scottsbluff, Gering, Columbus, Norfolk, Ashland and Ogallala which have formally signed CPP agreements with the Nebraska Military Department since the program’s start in mid-2024. Beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 19, through Thursday, Aug. 20, NMD leaders will participate in various activities and engagements with local McCook area leaders. These activities include a Community Partnership Signing Ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 19, and a Wreath Placing Ceremony, on Thursday, Aug. 20. NMD leaders will also participate in meetings with local governmental, educational, business and civic organization leaders, visits with local veterans, and discussions with McCook Police, Fire and other local emergency management personnel. The Nebraska Military Department wants to be our Nebraska communities’ partner of choice. That’s why we are excited to begin this new partnership between the Nebraska Military Department and the City of McCook, and chart new ways in which we can assist each other even more effectively in the future,” said Maj. Gen. Craig Strong, Nebraska adjutant general. The public is invited to attend the Community Partnership Signing Ceremony between Maj. Gen. Craig Strong, Nebraska adjutant general, and McCook Mayor Linda Taylor at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 19, at the McCook Community College – East Campus, 905 East 7th Street.
