Have you ever been to a funeral or event where
an honor guard has provided services such as
flag folding, presentations or marches? It is
very moving to the public and an honor to be a
member of an honor guard, I know I have been in
two.
Boundary County has our own honor guard, which
is in startup mode. Our Volunteer Fire Service
Honor Guard has seven members from four
different fire agencies. Their goal is to
contribute to the morale of our fire service
personnel, foster pride in our community and
serve first responder families with dignity and
distinction.
The members include Granite Allinger, Alan
Hamilton, Cheryl Jackson, Ken Baker, Tony
Rohrwasser, Wally Nyborg and Len Pine as the
commander.
Honor guards provide a service in dress uniforms
with the full complement of service implements.
The Honor Guard is hoping to raise $6, 000 for
those uniforms.
A
GoFundMe account has been set up for
donations for this project.
It takes special people to serve on honor
guards. I discovered I could not do it, the
emotions run too deep in me. I applaud those who
can. |
