BREMERTON, Wash. (May 16, 2026) - Capt. Karla M. Lepore, commanding officer of Naval Medical Readiness and Training Command Bremerton, participates as an honored guest during the 2026 Bremerton Armed Forces Day Parade, joining other military, local and civic leaders, along with community partners, in recognizing the service and sacrifice of military members past and present.

The annual event brings together military and civilian participants to celebrate readiness, commemorate veterans and strengthen ties between the region’s military commands and the Kitsap community.
