Col. Matthew McKinney, commanding officer and SgtMaj. Frank Kammer, base sergeant major, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, joined other base leaders and men from the local community for the annual Ties that Bind, June 14.

Hosted by Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital Network of Trust, the event pairs young boys, many from homes without male role models or live-in fathers with distinguished men from the local community. The tie is a symbolic distinction and allows the male mentor to bond with their mentee while teaching him how to tie a necktie.
