Salute Our Troops celebrations will be held throughout the southeastern United States. A Jeep Tour will honor military heroes and their families along the route with celebrations in local communities.

"This summer??s Salute Our Troops is an ideal campaign for Kangaroo Express and our partners to support of the men and women who serve our country," said John Fisher, senior vice president of The Pantry. "We are proud to join Kronik Energy in this campaign to provide an opportunity for our store guests to thank our military for the work and sacrifices required to protect our nation and preserve our freedom."

Many will be showcased on the Salute Our Troops website at KESalute.com.
