Hyundai Air & Sea Show military outreach highlights service members
MIAMI BEACH — You’ll see Sergeant First Class Scott Evans snapping shots of soldiers showing off the military machines.
“We’re bringing America’s army to America,” Evans said.
His service reminds him of his brother David, who died while on a tour in the Vietnam War, six years before he was born.
“His son was actually born five days later,” Evans said. “So, I have a nephew in Connecticut who never got to meet his dad because he was killed.”
As he remembers his brother on Memorial Day weekend, his country has found ways to say thank you.
“He was of the first graduating class of Lincoln High School in Rhode Island,” Evans said. “And today the park across from the high school is dedicated in his name.”
“I go to Washington, D.C. pretty frequently,” he added Very often I’ll go to the Vietnam wall and I’ll see his name there.”
His brother’s bravery is one of the reasons why he enlisted. Serving runs in the family — his grandfather served in World War Two.
“There was always that aspect of service that came with the Evans family name,” he said.
“It reminds the general population what the military is for and that their sacrifices aren’t for nothing,” said Staff Sergeant Brandon Bemis.
Evans says these kinds of outreach events are key since they can teach the next generation about one of America’s oldest institutions.
“A lot of the service members they have those kinds of stories where they have friends that they’ve served with that are no longer with us. They carry their stories forward when they interact with the public,” Evans said.

Going to the Hyundai Air & Sea Show in South Beach? Here is what you need to know
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Miami Beach is hosting an action-packed celebration of American patriotism on Saturday and Sunday ahead of Memorial Day, a time to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. military.
The Hyundai Air & Sea Show marks the barrier-island city’s eighth annual National Salute to America’s Heroes with representatives of the U.S. military’s six branches, first responders, and allies.
The maroon beret-wearing Red Devils from the British Army’s Parachute Regiment were ready. Mickey Markoff, the show’s executive producer, told Local 10 News the schedule of events honors heroes.
“They are writing the blank check of sacrificing their life for our entire nation to protect our freedom,” Markoff said. “The whole idea is to say thanks.”
The choreographed beachside tribute is from noon to 6 p.m., and there are events into the night after the show — including a concert, a 3-D mapping video projection on historic buildings, and a fireworks display.
Markoff also said the primary viewing area is along Ocean Drive — between 11 and 14 streets — at the heart of the Art Deco Historic District in South Beach.
Miami Beach police officers were enforcing temporary traffic and parking changes that limited drivers’ access to Ocean Drive, and Collins and Washington avenues.
It will be hot this weekend and there is a risk of Saturday afternoon storms. Organizers said there is an interactive area for kids, food vendors, and water access at Lummus Park, at 1130 Ocean Dr., which also has public restrooms.
Sun protection and comfortable clothes and footwear are a must. Admission to the public show and the after-show events is free. For more information from event organizers, visit this page.

ASK IRA: Is moving forward with Adebayo at center a case of the Heat failing both Bam and themselves?
Q: Bam Adebayo is an incredibly talented player. But with the Heat having to probably go through one or a few of these teams in the future: Denver, Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Boston, 76ers, Knicks, Milwaukee and a few others to get the chip, is having Bam Adebayo at center a flaw design? Boston, Minnesota, Oklahoma City and Denver all play big and have talented bigs. – Stuart.
A: This has come up often amid the course of the playoffs and the answer remains the same: If the Heat can add a big man who is a better fit than Bam Adebayo at center, they assuredly would move in that direction. But wanting something and getting someone are two different things. Yes, the Celtics got Kristaps Porzingis and that arguably is one that got away (even as Boston wins in his absence). But I doubt most Heat followers would have been willing to give up for Rudy Gobert what the Timberwolves gave up. And Deandre Ayton hardly was a big man in demand when he was dealt. As for the draft, Victor Wembanyama was an exception. Now, if you want someone along the lines of Clint Capela and are willing to take on his salary, that could be doable. So, as with all players of all sizes, it’s a matter of the right big man as opposed to any big man.
Q: Are Heat fans not being patient enough? I’ve seen some Heat fans want to see a tear down and rebuild, which isn’t going to happen. But when building with young players, you have to be patient. Running it back is what you do with young teams as they improve. The Heat have two rotation pieces in Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic that will improve. Tyler Herro at 24 can still improve. They’ll be adding another rookie at No. 15 in the draft. Heat fans aren’t going to want to hear this, but running it back may be the best and most responsible option if a trade for a superstar isn’t a possibility. – Dave, Placenta, Calif.
A: No, they probably don’t want to hear that. While championship contention is expressed as the ultimate goal, this also is entertainment. And sometimes that means freshening the product before it is perceived as growing stale. That puts the Heat at a curious crossroads at the moment. When you get down to it, the lone “older” element in the starting lineup is Jimmy Butler, who will be 35 next season. But the question is that if Jimmy missed 22 games at 34, how many does he miss at 35?
Q: Nikola Jovic did bulk up from year one to year two. Can he do it again before year three? – Gary, Boca Raton.
A: That becomes a question of whether he wants to or whether the Heat want him to. Adding weight can result in a loss of agility. You have to be careful with such body shaping. As it is, Nikola Jovic plays mostly as a wing, so I’m not sure the desire there is to be able to flex in front of a mirror.
