Veterans,

As our fellow Comrades continue to pass on at an alarming rate, we need your help. Any honorably discharged veteran is guaranteed a military funeral. Included in the ceremony is the Prayer, Flag Folding, Rifle Salute and Taps. Some of them same volunteers have been doing this Ceremony

for over 30 years. To continue the quality program we now provide we need volunteers. You may have a couple of hours invested, but the families are truly appreciative. The common sense requirements are pretty simple. You must be honorably discharged and be willing to dress appropriately at all times at the services. Interested veterans may feel free to talk to any Wayne County Honor Guard member or phone Jim Hall (765) 462-8532. Thank you for your

consideration.

Ron Hill – Director

Wayne County Honor Guard

Thanks to all who helped with “Buddy Poppy”

success. Thanks to the volunteers, bartenders,

Sondra and the kitchen staff and Cathy Helton

for Bob Evans.

Great Job!
