The Mesa Veterans Parade Association (MVPA) will present their 3rd Annual Mesa Veteran’s Day Parade Tuesday, Nov. 11th in Downtown Mesa. The parade will commence at the Mesa Convention Center at 11 a.m., and head south to First Avenue, and then West to conclude at approximately 12:30 p.m. at MacDonald.

“One out of every 12 Mesa citizens is a veteran,” said Frank “Gunny” Alger, Jr., 2008 Parade Chair and Immediate Past President of MVPA. “It is the mission of the MVPA to ensure that this parade occurs each year, so that our veterans see the honor and support that they deserve.”

This Veteran’s Day event will feature an antique military vehicle display by Wingspan, on MacDonald just north of Main Street. Wingspan Air Heritage foundation volunteers work in restoring antique military aircraft vehicles which, along with other artifacts, are used to tell the stories and histories of our Veterans. A high school ROTC exhibition drilling will take place on Robson just north of Main Street. Various high school ROTC’s will also have booths.

Honor, Duty, eMail: eMOM and Tatango Team Up to Connect Troops with Loved Ones via SMS
eMOM and Tatango Team Up to Connect Troops with Loved Ones via SMS

Tatango, the Seattle-based SMS service firm, has partnered with Miami-based eMail Our Military (eMOM) to connect deployed military service members with their loved ones back home through text messaging.

Tatango has created an interface exclusively for military personnel, which easily allows any service member to instantly update all their loved ones on events of the day, advancements and most importantly, their safety.

“We’re extremely excited about this partnership, as it allows us to do our part in supporting the troops who have been deployed overseas,” says Derek Johnson, CEO of Tatango. “By working closely with Trish and her team at eMail Our Military, we were able to modify our current website to accommodate the needs of military service members without access to a mobile phone.”
