To the editor:
Members present were Captain of The Guard Pete Trazzera, Dick Thomas, Art Haley, Jerry Congdon and Lloyd Buck. They were invited by the Commander of the Post Keith Keefer to participate in the ceremony.
In concluding the ceremony there was a rifle salute by the Honor Guard and the playing of Taps.
If you have never seen this ceremony by the Vietnam Veterans it is something you must see when they return next year. You don’t have to be a military person to appreciate all these men gave for their country.
