Color Guard
Our Color Guard has an award winning history dating back to the 1930's. Members are volunteers for this detail,
they march in parades, post colors at funerals and baseball games, and place flags on graves for Memorial and Veterans Day.
They have won numerous awards at State Convention.
The rifles they bear are the M-1, they carry the National Flag, the Post Colors
and on occasion the District Colors. The Color Guard is well represented by different generations of Veterans.
These gentlemen have represented our Post well in the community.
Our Ladies Auxiliary also has an award winning
color guard. The Ladies also carry the National Flag and the Auxiliary's Post Colors.
The Mens Auxiliary Color Guard although newly formed is out there with the Post and Ladies Color Guard, they carry the National Flag
and the Mens Auxiliary Post Colors.

For Their Honor
You'll see them standing proudly
In the summer's heat or cold
Their heads bowed in silent prayer
For the young Soldier, and the old.
They will take the time away
Precious hours of their lives
To fold our Flag
carefully
To present to loved one, kids and wives.
Some people think they are paid
But no, it's at their expense, too
So, when you see an Honor Guard
Just tell them,
"Thanks, for all you do."
Del "Abe" Jones
