Hero’s Welcome Parade Planned For Sept. 9

SELBYVILLE, Del. — The public is invited to take part in A Hero’s Welcome parade for the Operation SEAs the Day families on Friday, Sept. 9.

Operation SEAs the Day is a beach week event for wounded veterans and their families, which will take place Sept. 6-11, and is now in its fourth year. The wounded veterans have gone from a battle field to a hospital and then home — most have never received a Hero’s Welcome Home or a thank you for their service.

The families will depart from Sea Colony Marketplace in Bethany Beach and travel to The Freeman Stage at Bayside in Selbyville in a motorcade. Local communities and businesses are encouraged line the streets to cheer and recognize the wounded warrior families.
