Eight Years In The Air, Then Eight Years Carrying The Colors
Jayton A. Ellis served eight years in the United States Navy as an aircrewman. He is a graduate of Texas Tech University and lives in Lubbock, Texas, where the foundation is based.
In 2017 he founded the All American Color Guard because he kept attending events where the colors were presented badly, or not at all. What he built instead was a joint service unit that could be called on anywhere in the country and would render honors to standard when it got there.
The Star Spangled Performance Program followed from the same observation. A color guard and a good anthem belong together, and finding both for the same event was harder than it should have been. So he built the second program to sit alongside the first.
Why This Exists
That is the whole thesis of the foundation, and it is why both programs are built around people who served. The uniform in the formation is the argument.
