Reed, Montgomery native Rear Admiral Mike Brown, and the renowned Navy Band Southeast’s Woodwind Quintet hosted kick-off Montgomery Navy Week with a celebration at the park adjacent to City Hall on N.

Reed. “Montgomery Navy Week offers a unique chance for our citizens to connect with our naval forces, fostering mutual respect and understanding. This proclamation reflects our deep appreciation for the United States Navy’s dedication to our community. The excitement builds with the upcoming Beyond Horizons Air & Space Show, featuring the Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron and other acrobatic acts, which celebrates our lasting partnership with America’s military excellence.”
