Ceremony saluting our fallen Retirees:
The highlight of our Retiree picnic each year is honoring the Retirees who have died in the past year. The ceremony opens with our National Anthem, followed by the reading of the roster of those who have passed and concludes with the playing of Taps.
If you know of a Retiree who has passed who is not on the roster, get back, and we’ll make sure they are included in the next ceremony. Also, if you feel it is appropriate feel free to forward this to any survivors you might be in contact with.
Singing of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Singing The Star Spangled Banner are SGT Luke Powers (left) and SSG Thomas Linevitch (right) from the 102d Army Band
