Dale A Mullin
2025 Grand Marshal

When Dale Mullin moved to Naples in 2002, he was looking forward to a quiet retirement, where the goals of the day were to play golf and go fishing.

As a U.S. Army veteran, Mullin had faced many challenges throughout his life after returning from the Vietnam War in 1968. But he ultimately moved forward, went to college, built a business career, and then happily married his wife, Marie Elania.

Little did he know, his quiet life in Naples would soon boomerang back to a life a service.
