ROME — The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) has honored AmeriCU for organizing the 2019 Salute to the Troops Tribute Concert at Mountainfest.

Held annually as part of the Fort Drum Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation’s Mountainfest, AmeriCU presents this concert to thank the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division and their families for their service to the country.

Last year’s concert featured country music duo LOCASH with opening act Parmalee.

“AmeriCU is honored to present this event each year,” Julie Tramacera-Miri, marketing and events coordinator at AmeriCU, said in a statement. “This concert is just one small way we can thank these brave men and women and their families for all the sacrifices they have made for our community and our country.”

AmeriCU won in the ongoing-event category during the CUNA Marketing & Business Development Council’s annual Diamond Awards ceremony. American Heritage Credit Union of Philadelphia; America’s First Federal Credit Union of Birmingham, Alabama; and Georgia United Credit Union of Duluth, Georgia also won in the category, per the website of CUNA Councils.

The Diamond Awards event recognizes “outstanding achievements” in the credit union industry, AmeriCU said.

The Salute to the Troops Tribute Concert is organized in cooperation with co-sponsors Carthage Area Hospital, Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes, Kinney Drugs, Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT), Martin’s Point, the USO, Waite Toyota, Wahl Media, Community Broadcasters, Lamar Advertising, and NBC Watertown.
