They often serve as greeters when foreigners and dignitaries visit the city, and are required to be knowledgeable about the city landmarks and history. The Maids are meant to embody the ideals of "Southern hospitality", and appeared at the inauguration of United States President Barack Obama. All 50 of Mobile’s Azalea Trail Maids march in the Macy’s 85th Anniversary Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Maids, wearing extravagant antebellum-style dresses and using mannerisms of the era, make appearances at many local, state, and national events.

ReplyDeleteThat’s me carrying the AF flag. Tall white guy. So I was stationed at keesler as a mental health tech doing psych testing for those about to deploy and reclassing students who couldn’t cut it for air traffic control. Needed a break and did a few rotations with the honor guard. Before I know it I’m leading a parade. My only concern was to not drop that flag. Those guys were strong, I wasn’t and those flags are heavy. CC said drive to Alabama and they’ll tell you what to do. This is my first time looking back and thank you for taking these pictures.
