FLAG ETIQUETTE
LAW ALLOWS SALUTE DURING ANTHEM
Veterans and troops not in uniform can now render the hand salute during the playing of the National Anthem. This was approved as part of the 2009 Defense Authorization act that authorized veterans to render a military-style salute during the raising, lowering or passing of the U.S. Flag.
POST COLOR GUARD
Sgt at Arms Robert Vaughan is asking for volunteers to establish a Post Honor Guard. The Post Honor Guard will be composed of members who will be available to fold the Flag at Funerals of our deceased comrades. They will also be available to schools and other organizations who request information on flag etiquette and folding. Call Robert at 644-7954 if you would like to participate in the Honor Guard or want more information.

It Is The Soldier
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army
