Kaiserslautern Military Community members enjoyed Halloween events at Ramstein Air Base, Oct. 31. On and off-base members had the opportunity to trick-or-treat across bass housing and go through a haunted house. The haunted house was a collective effort of more than 100 volunteers from around the base who built the sets, decorated and performed as scare actors. Participating in yearly celebrations helps raise morale within the KMC and encourages its members to come together.
