Honor Guard 2023

In October, the Honor Guard assisted the Military Honors Teams at 9 funerals and made appearances at 2 civic functions. For Veterans Day, we already have been asked to be present at 7 retirement facilities and will participate in the Veterans Parade on November 12th.

In calendar year 2023, the Honor Guard was asked to assist the Military Honors Teams at 89 funerals and was present at 42 civic functions. The effort the Honor Guard makes to honor our deceased veterans and for appearances at local civic functions is greatly appreciated.

 If you want military funeral honors conducted by your branch of service, you must produce a copy of your DD 214. Let your family know of your request and let them know where your paperwork is located. If you can’t find your DD214, you may request a copy by logging on to https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records and completing the form.
