Announcing Our 2026 Veterans Day Parade Grand Marshal!
The City of Folsom is proud to announce Sergeant Major Susan DeMasters, U.S. Army (Retired), as the Grand Marshal of the 26th Annual Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade!
With more than 40 years of military and federal service, Sergeant Major DeMasters has dedicated her life to serving our country and supporting veterans and their families.
Beginning her military career in the California Army National Guard in 1980, she served in leadership roles across the United States and overseas. Following September 11, 2001, she played a key role in mobilizing military personnel, helping coordinate the deployment of more than 22,000 soldiers in support of military operations.
After retiring from active duty in 2006, she continued serving veterans through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs until 2018. Today, she remains actively involved in the Folsom community through Wreaths Across America, Team Red, White & Blue, the American Legion, and other veterans organizations.
Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Major DeMasters and thanking her for her extraordinary service to our country and community!
We look forward to honoring her at this year's Wayne Spence Veterans Day Parade as we come together to recognize those who have served.
