Major General George Harrison to serve as Peachtree City 4th of July Grand Marshal
Summary
Mayor Kim Leonard named Major General George Harrison the Grand Marshal for Peachtree City's July Fourth parade, citing his 35 years of Air Force service, Georgia Tech research career and civic involvement with the Commemorative Air Force.
Mayor Kim Leonard announced that Major General George Harrison will be the Grand Marshal of Peachtree City's Fourth of July parade. Leonard described Harrison as a 35‑year Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam, later worked as an engineering researcher at Georgia Tech for more than 20 years, and remains active with the Commemorative Air Force and other civic organizations.
The mayor noted Harrison still flies out of Atlanta Regional Airport’s Falcon Field and said his selection is "an exciting and appropriate choice" for the city's celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Leonard did not provide further details about parade logistics or Harrison’s planned role beyond the honorary position. The city typically publishes event schedules and logistics on its website in the weeks leading up to the Fourth of July.
