Welcome to the website for the Gregory J. Harris Military Courtesy Room at Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport. The Staff and Volunteers of the Military Courtesy Room are proud to serve each and every Soldier, Sailor, Airman/Airwoman and Marine who walks through our doors. We are one of only two known privately funded military lounges in the nation. We fully understand the rare opportunity we have to bring the thanks of a faithful nation to each and every individual that visits our facilities. We provide our servicemen and woman with snacks, beverages and a comfortable place to wait for flights or transportation to many of the local military installations, in particular Ft. Drum; a US Army base located a little over an hour north of Syracuse. Ft. Drum is home to the 10th Mountain Division and the majority of the military traffic we see comes from these amazing men and women. It truly is an honor to serve them. We are an all volunteer organization under the umbrella of the Emerald City Detachment #877 of the Marine Corps League in Chittenango, New York. They provide us with things like our non-profit status and our insurance policy for the Military Courtesy Room. We are very appreciative of their ongoing support and pride in what we do. Every item in the Military Courtesy Room comes from private and corporate donations from local folks and companies. The City of Syracuse has also wholeheartedly supported our efforts and are an integral part of the continuing success of our project. We are humbled to be one of only two privately supported room of this kind in the United States. |
