The Match II: Support the Military Edition was the follow up to the initial tournament last year. We brought out 93 golfers for this event which shattered the mark made from the previous year. We set a goal to tell the story of the Montford Point Marines out in the community and raise awareness to their contribution to the nation and I can safely say we accomplished the mission. A special thank you to Mayor Anthony Ford of Stockbridge for delivering the opening remarks as well as participating in the tournament. Additionally, we want to thank Randy Gallop and the team from the Racing Tribute Car for displaying the amazing vehicle dedicated to these trailblazing heroes. I also want to send a huge shout out to our sponsors. A special thank you to VyStar Credit Union for being the top sponsor this year. Others included, Lockheed Martin, Quik Trip, The PGA Store, PXG, Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Atlanta Falcons, Krispy Kreme, Top Golf, Minuteman Press, Pepsi-Co, Law Office of Floyd Chapman, Raimey Law, Angie's Cafe, Beverly Hood Realtor, and Fred Codes Virtual Property Realtor. Thank you to the local community of Stockbridge and McDonough for your support. We hope to see you all again next year for The Match III.
In an effort to increase awareness of the Montford Point Marines in the local community, Atlanta Chapter 5 hosted our first annual Montford Point Marine Day in Smyrna GA. Original Montford Point Marines Ambassador Theodore Britton Jr and Mr. James Pack were on hand to receive honors from the city of Smyrna in the form of a city proclamation. Guests included the Director of The Atlanta VA, Georgia Department of Veterans Service, and the representatives from the the local Marine unit.
