“I am proud to represent the dedicated professional men and women in the world’s greatest Air Force as my team and I step in unison and formation to project the image of excellence instilled in every airman," Overton said. "This is an amazing opportunity that I have been given and I am proud to be serving our nation.”
The parade begins at 9 a.m. EST, and will be broadcast on many television stations.
