“I am proud to be one of the very few Airmen from Moultrie county,” said Black. “I proudly work alongside soldiers, Marines, sailors, and Coast Guardsmen on an almost daily basis. While I perform my duties along these men and women, I proudly represent every United States military veteran across the world.”
The parade begins at 9 a.m. East Coast time, and will be broadcast on many television stations.
Located at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, D.C., the United States Air Force Honor Guard has leads the way as representatives of all Airmen serving around the world. The men and women of the honor guard represent every member, both past and present, of the U.S. Air Force.
