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.

Buses with Operation SEAs the Day banners carrying the families will leave Sea Colony at 4:45 p.m. and arrive at Bayside between 5-5:15 p.m. Participants are also encouraged to wear red, white and blue.

To complete the evening, the families will be honored guests at The Freeman Stage for the Bruce in the USA performance, which begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available at freemanstage.org or by calling 302-436-3015.
