Wearing their pressed uniforms and caps the veterans carried the American Flag, POW Flag and VFW Flag, followed by flags representing each military branch. The Flag Ceremony was carried out while the Navy Seamen Cadet Band, comprised of 13-19 years olds, played patriotic music.
The James D Piper VFW Post 12118 Ladies Auxiliary also was in attendance and helped with the checking in of veterans in attendance so that they would receive their much deserved recognition for their service.
Mel Ogg, the Posts only WWII veteran, received a beautiful quilt and recognition for his service from the ladies of Quilts of Honor, a lovely group of women who gently and lovingly wrap veterans in the warmth of a handmade quilt.
