Local Salvation Army Officers Receive Promotion

(STUART, FL) – Local Salvation Army leaders Nathan and Deanne Jones received an official promotion from Captains to Majors. In recognition of their 15 years of service as Salvation Army Officers, both Jones were promoted to the rank of Major within the organization. Officers hold ranks throughout their service and into retirement, and their rank is reflected in their uniforms. In this case, a crest upon red epaulets reflects the new rank. 

“We are both honored and humbled to receive this promotion,” said Major Deanne Jones. “It serves as a continued reminder to us of God’s faithfulness in our lives and our continued faithful service to Him.” 

Before serving in Florida, the Jones served as Officers in the Salvation Army in several locations, including Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama.
