Grand marshalls were Dr. James Melott, Jr., U.S. Navy Seabee/U.S. Army paratrooper, U.S. Marine TAD attached and Mrs. Barbara C. Melott, BS.N RN, PHN, U.S. Navy hospital corsman.
Marching bands from Mineola, Alba-Golden and Hawkins high schools provided beats and tunes, including service songs such as "The Army Goes Rolling Along."
