Military Appreciation

19th Annual Military Appreciation Day

John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” At Infuze Credit Union, we do just that. To pay tribute to those who serve, Infuze Credit Union proudly hosts a Military Appreciation Day each year at the Route 66 Stadium (Formerly known as Hammons Field). Since the event's inception, Infuze Credit Union has contributed more than $400,000 to honor America’s heroes who serve in the United States Military.
