Honor Guard
The Honor Guard is made up entirely of honorably discharged veterans who volunteer their time and service. These dedicated volunteers serve Monday through Friday, performing rifle salutes, playing TAPS, and when needed, folding and presenting the American flag, ensuring that every veteran receives the honors they have earned.
The Honor Guard is an essential part of the community, providing a meaningful connection between the public and the service of our veterans. No matter the weather, our men and women never miss a veteran’s service, providing the utmost respect and dignity our heroes deserve on their final journey.
Their unwavering commitment ensures that every ceremony is carried out with precision, honor, and heartfelt respect, leaving a lasting impact on families, friends, and all who attend.
