Wounded Warrior Parade, September 15th: Downbeach residents are encouraged to come out for the welcoming parade in honor of a visiting Wounded Warrior. Sergeant First Class Richard Stayskal is a U.S. Army Green Beret who was seriously wounded while serving in Iraq. Longport’s American Legion Post is sponsoring a one-week all expense paid vacation for SFC Stayskal and his family from September 15-22. The parade on their arrival will come as a total surprise to Rich and his family. The parade is scheduled to start from Ventnor Plaza at 5:30 PM on the 15th. Rich, his wife, Megan, and their two daughters, Addi (13) and Carly (11) will be riding in an open white limo, and escorted by Downbeach police and fire engines along with the American Legion Riders on their motorcycles. Please come out on September 15th at 5:30 PM - anywhere along the parade route which will be along Dorset Avenue to Atlantic Avenue, and then along Atlantic Avenue to 26th Avenue in Longport. Come out with flags, signs, or just yourselves to let our special guests know how much the Jersey shore appreciates our military heroes.
