The Armed forces Day Celebration, in Torrance,CA "TAFDA" is experiencing an issue related to
the US Government namely the DOD, Dept of Defense, cut the budget because of "Sequestration"
and many of the area Military Reserve Units are not participating in TAFDA.
As a result the Armed Forces Day Event planning group is now reaching out to many nonmilitary
organizations seeking support to continue this long standing Southern California Tradition
of honoring the US Military.
This year the Marine Corps is the featured Service Branch.
The Event Staff is seeking our help in this year's 54th Annual Armed Forces Day celebration.
They are requesting us to bring additional vehicles for the parade. If you can attend please contact
Jerry Berry 562-715-1400
Here's the info: For those who want to eat, we're gonna meet at Dino's burgers (1975 Torrance Bl) at 1030 hrs. From there we'll go to our staging area (Church of the Nazarene , 700 Maple Av / Maple Av at Maricopa St). If ya want to meet us there the time is 1200 hrs.
> From the church, once we are loaded, we will go to our staging area on Crenshaw Bl at Torrance Bl.
Once again we are supporting the WWII Vets and the Combat Infantry Badge Assoc.
>
> I always need as many jeeps as I can get. For those of you with the larger vehicles there a chance you may run empty, but please come anyway. (we've had a need to split up before when they run short of vehicles which is very likely this year)
>
>
> I believe that they would like us to display our vehicles at the Del Amo mall after the parade, due to the lack of active military being available this year
