The Department of Tennessee President, Retired Col. John Davenport and Department of Tennessee Treasurer, Retired Lt. Col. Scott Hardin, participate in the 72nd Chattanooga Armed Forces Day Parade. The parade is the longest consecutive running Armed Forces Day Parade in the country. After a scaled down version last year due to COVID it was wonderful to have 125 units participate this year. The Dept of TN was placed near the front of the parade units!
The parade this year paid tribute to a hometown hero Charles Coolidge, Medal of Honor recipient who passed away earlier this spring at 99 years of age. There are more than 22,000 vets in Hamilton County and around 13,000 in Chattanooga proper, needless to say the parade was a great success!
