Army/Navy Boat Burning

After 40 years of service to NRRC, our launch, Pine Island 3, was put to good use one more time. We donated our launch to the United States Military Academy at West Point for this year’s Army/Navy Boat Burning Bon Fire. Every year the Army finds a boat to burn before their annual Army/Navy game. With the help of many people from the NRRC, The New Rochelle Marina, and the Cadets at West Point, this year’s Bon Fire looked like it was a big hit.

NRRC would like to thank Brigadier General Robert Caslen Jr., Master Sergeant Edwin Gargas, Cadet William Green and Cadet Richard Rendon for the wonderful day and event that they had put together for us. 

GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!!!!
