Over this past weekend Renae and I, as members of the Grand Valley Combined Honor Guard, participated in a Flag Retreat and Retirement Ceremony on May 25th and Memorial Day Service on May 26th. During the Flag Retreat and Retirement Ceremony Renae and I, were in charge of the Retirement Flag and commanding the Rifle/Flag Detail, respectively. The honor guard brought down the Garrison size American Flag as it was rendered unservicable. During this ceremony the honor guard commander, Bob Henderson, cut the smaller flag that Renae had and it was properly disposed of by flame and with dignity. On May 26th we participated in the Memorial Day Service presentations were made by Sen. Penry, Sen. King, and Sen Buscher, as well as, a class from Holy Family Catholic School. The honor guard then completed a memorial service for all veterans who have passed away this past year. We were proud to participate in the ceremonies have each of us served our country in order to gain the freedom to have this day to remember others.
