USMC Band Celebrating the 4th of July aboard the USS Kidd

Happy 4th of July From Johnson Marine Services

As a veteran owned business, we are always looking for ways to support our military, both past and present. We are currently involved with the Louisiana Veterans Museum Foundation to support the preservation of the USS Kidd, a retired Fletcher class destroyer that sailed in both World War II and the Korean War. The historic vessel is the centerpiece of the USS Kidd Veterans Museum located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

Due to COVID-19, the annual 4th of July celebration and fireworks display held at the USS Kidd Veterans Museum was canceled. In an effort to celebrate our nation’s heritage, the museum arranged for the United States Marines Reserve Band to play onboard the vessel, without an audience, and was recorded by WBRZ, a local television station. Johnson Marine got the incredible opportunity to partner with WBRZ to provide drone footage for their broadcast which will air on July 4th. One of the videos that will be featured in the 4th of July broadcast is attached above.

If you would like more information about our Aerial Surveying and Imagery department, give us a call or check out our website!

 We hope you and your family have a blessed 4th of July.
