The Honor Guard has marched in every town parade since it inception, including the Memorial Day Parade, the Firefighters Parade, the 911 Memorial Ceremony, along with the Rocky Hill 75 Anniversary Parade honoring their emergensy services, At this final function, the SVAA Honor Guard was awarded a trophy for the 1st runner-up as Best Looking Uniform.
SVAA Community Liasons Jeremy Meade and Deb Kratzke have organized the Guard and have been responsible for scheduling, and uniform selection and maintenance. Deb and Jeremy look to increase the number of marching members with each successive year, as well as to develop a team of flag bearers.
