For more than 10 years, WWE’s Superstars and Divas have performed for the valiant men and women of the U.S. military in Iraq, Afghanistan and military bases across the United States. Since bringing the annual  WWE Tribute to the Troops stateside in 2010, service members stationed at Fort Hood, Tex., Fort Bragg., Ga., Virginia’s  Norfolk Naval Station and  Joint Base Lewis-McChord have experienced the excitement of WWE with their friends and families firsthand. WWE Tribute to the Troops 2014 continues the tradition of WWE’s commitment to the U.S. military, with this year’s event taking place at Fort Benning in Georgia.

Built in 1918, Fort Benning is one of the United States Army’s most important installations, supporting more than 120,000 active-duty troops, reserves and civilians. Since its inception as a post to provide basic training during World War I, the base has served as the home of the Army’s infantry division, housing the Infantry School on site. As the installation expanded over the years, its commitment to training tomorrow’s soldiers has also grown. In addition to the Infantry School, Benning houses the Armor School — designed to effectively train soldiers in the use of armored vehicles. The base is also committed to the advancement of soldiers not only on the battlefield, but at home, as well, through the Maneuver Center of Excellence.
