National Memorial Day Parade 2016.
Monday, May 30.
Washington DC
In cooperation with The National Desert Storm War Memorial Association, I will be coordinating the group of Desert Storm Veterans who will be marching in the Memorial Day Parade. This will be a group of 500+, divided among Army, Navy, USAF, USMC & Coast Guard. In addition, we will accommodate a group of 20 who are unable to march in the parade, but will be transported in a military vehicle.
These 500 will need to be Desert Storm Veterans who deployed (in theater) during Desert Shield or Desert Storm.
You will need to also be present in Washington DC on Sunday, May 29 for a special meeting of the troops prior to the parade on May 30.
The parade uniform will be a specially designed shirt with two options for pants.
If you qualify to march and would like to march, please get in touch with me. The best way to reach me is through email: [login to see] . Through email I will get you connected with the group on Facebook. When all slots are filled, we will keep a wait list.

Open it op to all Desert Storm vets. We can wear our desert camos and still look great.
