95th CA Bde Soldiers march in Veterans Day Parade

About 70 Soldiers from all of the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade (Airborne) four battalions and headquarters company represented the US. Army Special Operations Command at Fayetteville’s annual Veterans Day parade on Sat., Nov. 6. Led by Col. James Wolff and Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Wall, the Civil Affairs unit was part of a battalion-size contingent representing Fort Bragg that marched on the length of Hay street into the heart of the city’s downtown historic district. …Julie MacTaggart and 7-year-old Justin had good reason to be out in the raw, windy cold of Saturday morning. Mother and son sat just off the edge of Hay Street, wrapped in warm blankets and waiting to see the patriarch of the family march by."My dad's first in the parade," said Justin, who quickly emerged from a shy shell once his mother nudged him along.

An estimated 2,500 people gathered along Hay Street for the 13th annual Fayetteville Veterans Day Parade. The one hour, 20-minute parade featured high school marching bands and ROTC units, rifle routines, Shriners riding go-carts and military veterans. It also featured such modern-day military equipment as a light medium tactical vehicle, a Striker anti-tank guided missile carrier, a tactical ambulance and the new Humvee-MRAP hybrid armored fighting vehicle.

Enthusiasm and applause were as abundant as the cold hands stuck deep in pockets. …More from the Nov. 7 Fayetteville Observer
