History was made in Gaston County, North Carolina this past Veteran's Day. This year’s Grand Marshal was Earlie Cathcart, who is, at 90 years old, a World War II-era veteran and member of the National Association of Black Veterans, or NABVETS. He was the first Black man to address the masses as a part of the festivities. He was also the special guest at the Senator's ceremony for the day. Here he is pictured below waving to the crowd during the parade.
