The VFW Post 1264 Honor Guard provides military honors at veteran funerals, memorial services and celebrations of life, as requested by the families. The ceremony exemplifies "paying of respect and the final demonstration of the country’s gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our nation” and includes a 3 rifle volley, the sounding of Taps, and the ceremonial folding of the nation’s flag. The family is presented with 3 expended rounds, signifying the deceased veterans sacrifice to Duty, Honor and Country, to the family of the deceased.
While we do not charge for these services, we do accept donations, the proceeds of which go to the support of our fellow veterans, families and the community.
The Post 1264 Honor Guard stands ready to perform our last duty in conveying our gratitude and paying our final respects to a fallen comrade. If our services are needed please contact us and we will be honored to support you.
