In I948, the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce organized a parade honoring Bremertonian John “Bud” Hawk after he was presented with the Medal of Honor for his heroism in World War II. The next year, in 1949, Armed Forces Day became a national holiday honoring all branches of service. Since then, the Bremerton Armed Forces Day Parade has become the largest and longest-running Armed Forces Day Parade in the nation.
