Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Veteran Dave Parramore. Dave spent 26 years in the Army and now is focused on giving back. Last February, Dave cycled almost 500-miles from his home in St. Augustine Florida to Key West in honor of the Wounded Warrior Project. A week ago, Dave began pedaling for a bigger challenge. He will ride from Ocean Beach in California to his home in St. Augustine.

Good luck Dave and THANK YOU for your service.
