The Battle Cross Crusaders is organizing our 12th WW2 veterans Drive by Honor parade at the Green Valley Fire Department May 5th at 3pm for US Army veteran Richard Lohnes who is turning 106 years old.
Mr Lohnes also served as a fireman and fire chief for many years with the Green Valley fire department.
After the Honor Parade we have organized for Mr. Lohnes to receive Quilt of Valor, and we will be playing his song for the first time we coordinated with Operation Song, a amazing group of country songwriters from Nashville Tennessee.
The parade is open to any first responders and military veterans but the public is invited to attend as well.
More details on the Battle Cross Crusaders page, hope to see you there!
