Grab the family and head to Sills Field at Schofield Barracks on Feb. 23 to see the chart-topping country group Montgomery Gentry at "Kolekole Jam 2: Soldier and Family Appreciation Concert." The duo (Gerald Edward "Eddie" Montgomery and Troy Gentry) is performing as part of a USO tour for the soldiers and their families, but the concert is open to the public.
Make sure your driver's license, car registration and car insurance are all up to date or you won't be able to get past the guards.

Food and beverages will be sold, but you're welcome to bring your own. Visit www.mwrarmyhawaii.com.
