56th Annual Torrance Armed Forces Day Parade & Celebration is this Saturday! #AFD2015 
Beginning Friday May 15, 201 5 through Sunday May 17, 2015 the City of Torrance will pay tribute to the Nation’s Armed Forces with its 56th Annual Armed Forces Day Parade and Celebration; the City’s longest- standing tradition. Each year, the City honors a different military branch and this year highlights the United States Coast Guard. Grand Marshal, Rear Admiral Joseph Servidio, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District, will lead the Parade on Saturday May 16, 2015 that will begin at 1:30 PM.
The parade will include active and reserve military units from the five branches of the Armed Forces. The parade will also include military vehicles of all types including Humvees, Armored Personnel Carriers, Support Vehicles, and Abrams Battle Tanks; all rumbling down the streets of Torrance.
Additionally, Rear Admiral Servidio will conduct the swearing in of hundreds of future military heroes (recruits) from the five branches. Military and elected dignitaries, along with members of the community, will also be honoring the hundreds of military service men and women as they pass
in review.
