Post 1716 Honor Guards primary mission is Honoring Those Who Served. The rendering of Military Funeral Honors is our way to show the Nation's deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country. This ceremonial paying of respect is the final demonstration a grateful Nation can provide to its veterans' families. Members of this Honor Guard have been honoring fallen veterans for over fifteen years, like their fallen honor guard comrades before them. Our teams secondary mission is participating in community patriotic assemblies to include parades, posting of the colors, dedications, and teaching flag folding at schools. "What we do, Comes from the heart" To request our services, please contact Honor Guard Capt. Joe Kleinsmith at (831) 588-5525 email: jkleinsmith@yahoo.com or our VFW Post at (831) 722-5228.
