Rolling in the Veterans Day Parade on St. Simons

On Wednesday, November 11, the Golden Isles Council took part in the Veterans Day parade on St. Simons Island, put on by the Veterans Council of the Golden Isles. It was our pleasure to be in it.

Riding with council leadership were two special guests from the USS West Virginia (SSBN 736) Gold crew: Commanding Officer Cmdr. Scott Tedrick and Chief of the Boat Master Chief Wesley Richoux. We're in the process of adopting the West Virginia, so having them with us meant a lot.

To every veteran who came out, and to the families who stood beside them: thank you. You're the reason we do this.

The Chick-fil-A cow came out for the parade too.

And thank you to the Veterans Council of the Golden Isles for putting together a great morning.
