2010 Old Soldiers Parade
The Old Soldiers Parade was held on Thursday, August 19 and we had 16 NC Subvets from the Nathanael Greene and Tarheel Bases at this year's parade. Most thought the turnout of parade watchers was greater than previous years, which have always been great.
2010 Iredell County Independence Celebration Parade
We had 25 Subvets from the Carolina-Piedmont and Tarheel Bases turnout for this year's parade in Troutman. The 3 WWII Subvets present were Joe Clark, Bill Morris, and Bill Whelan. In the group picture, Bill Morris was hiding behind Chuck Jensen, so if you count the Subvets, there are only 24. The cool weather this year was great while waiting for the parade to start compared to the two previous years.
To perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution.
