Sunny skies and perfect weather made for a crowd friendly 72nd annual Armed Forces Parade down Market Street Friday morning – although it was briefer and with fewer marching bands than in years past.
And a bright future was predicted as well for America’s security by the Armed Forces celebration luncheon speaker, Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee, despite the admitted challenges of China, North Korea and Iran.

Despite the many obstacles and challenges that Covid-19 presented to our world, the United States Greater Chattanooga Navy League Council members adapted and overcame these obstacles during the onset of the 2020 pandemic.
In June of 2020, our Council held a lunch picnic at the Tennessee Riverpark and had CDR Remillard as our guest speaker. He was the former Commanding Officer of NOSC Chattanooga. During the luncheon, our Council honored and awarded BMCM McMahon, the former Officer in Charge of our local USCGC Ouachita a Quilt of Valor.
