Mayor attends inaugural St. Augustine Military Ball

The historic Hamblen House was the beneficiary Saturday night when the Inaugural St. Augustine Military Ball raised funds for ongoing renovations to the home of the C.F. Hamblen American Legion Post 37.

Forward March, Inc., the non-profit organization spearheading the work, hosted the elegant military gala at the Mark W. Lance Armory. This year’s Ball honored retiring Adjutant General of the Florida National Guard, Major General Emmett R. Titshaw, Jr.

The black tie and military dress uniform event was open to the public with dining, dancing and fun for all. A silent auction was also held.

Forward March, Inc. plans to make this Military Ball an annual event to support veterans and active duty personnel and instill a pride of country and civic responsibility in our local youth.
