The Puerto Rico National Guard celebrated its annual

The Puerto Rico National Guard celebrated its annual NCO Ball at the Ponce Hilton Hotel in Ponce, Puerto Rico, as part of the traditional three-day event that honors all active and former non-commissioned officers from the PRNG, April 28. The Ball event is specially dedicated to the NCOs and their spouses where the events start with an official military ceremony followed by dinner and the show of two orchestras staging by the dance floor. The Adjutant General of Puerto Rico, Brig. Gen. Isabelo Rivera, was present to officialize this event together with State Command Sgt. Maj. Juvencio Méndez. Retired NCOs and other guests got the opportunity to participate in this event and blend with old friends while learning what’s up in the new Guard. This family event started on Friday evening at the hotel with a welcome celebration and extended through Sunday with activities for all in the family to enjoy.
