I am proud to announce that The Hermitage High School Marching Panthers have accepted an invitation to participate in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, honoring the 50th anniversary of the Arizona Memorial. As the lone representative from the Commonwealth of Virginia, The Marching Panthers will represent the Pearl Harbor Hero’s from Virginia.
