"We
salute our comrades as they pass on. We thank them for the service
they performed
for their families, friends and the community. We honor them for their
commitment to support and defend our great nation. Our prayers are
with their souls and families."
As our fellow comrades pass on, we keep their memories alive in our hearts. All active post members who depart are remembered and their names are engraved in our Post Honor Roll. Whenever possible, our Post Honor Guard will ensure our comrades are given appropriate honors to include flag presentation, rendering of honors and/or gun salutes.
