NEW ORLEANS – Retired Lt. Col. Ken Demarest stands with the Air Force medallion, in front of the head float for the Legion of Mars Mardi Gras Krewe February 11, 2017. Mr. Demarest, who is a board member for the krewe, hopes that the krewe shows civilians that “the military likes to go and have a good time with everybody else,” while still taking care of business, and defending our country.
