ATLANTA - The Riverside Military Academy (RMA) Corps of Cadets marched in the 32nd Annual Atlanta Veterans' Day Parade held Saturday and brought home the parade's President's Trophy for "Best Marching Unit" for the fifth consecutive year.
"We were pleased that our parade judges confirmed your academy won the President's Trophy, and I join our Association's Officers and Directors in congratulating Colonel Benson and the entire Riverside Military Academy in this honor," said Kevin Miller, President of the Georgia Veterans Day Parade Association of Atlanta, Inc.
In addition, two Riverside cadets were honored with an invitation to kick off the Atlanta Veterans' Day Parade by playing Echo Taps.
