A few weeks ago, CDR Allen Moreland passed away just a few months short of 100 years of age. For those of you from the Jacksonville area, you may remember he was honored as the oldest veteran in the 2009 Veterans parade and was also honored at a Jaguars game that year. Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, Operation Homefront-Florida was able to provide CDR Moreland with a brand new Navy dress uniform and cover to wear at those events. He also wore the uniform to receive a special medallion, presented by Jacksonville Mayor, John Peyton.
We were proud to be a small part of these special events and salute his life and service to our country.

I was at that parade. It was great to see him. Glad OHFL was able to help.
