Brothers & Sisters,
Just a short word to say Thanks to all of you who traveled to Springfield on Thursday for the Medal of Honor ceremonies. I truly appreciate your dedication/devotion to the Honor Guard. I can tell all of you that during my many years in the Honor Guard, there were alot of activities that occured behind the scenes that Past Commander Bishop took care of that many of us did not know of. This year I witnessed first hand along with Commander Matousek of those activities. To which I say Thanks Jay. Commander Matousek or should I say "Nervous Nellie" your first ceremony went off without any glitches, ok maybe one. Remember when retiring the colors, the American Flag is first not last. Anyway don't forget your district training and keep visiting the website for continual updates. Until then, be safe.
