Jonathon Rosenberg is Operation Iraqi Freedom Grand Marshal

Each year, the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade
chooses amongst the 511,000 veterans in Maricopa County to have the honor of
serving as Veterans Grand Marshals in the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade. The veterans and representatives chosen to lead the parade are inspirations to us all. We are honored to highlight each of their military and personal achievements.

received recognition for valor in combat, including the Bronze Star Medal with
Combat V. Rosenberg participated in intense combat in Fallujah, Iraq, and

Sniper Course, Military Freefall Jumpmaster Course, and Marine Combatant Dive School. Not only did Rosenberg score as a high shooter in his rigorous Scout Sniper Basic Course, but he also went on to be an instructor in these courses and later served as the Senior Enlisted Advisor at Reconnaissance Training Company. Rosenberg is a role model in the U.S. Marine Corp, the veteran community, and the greater Phoenix community, where he continues to serve.
