Ninth District Honors Fallen

Posted at 10:08 PM on Friday, June 12, 2009 by District 9 Web Admin

At the Ninth District Mid-winter Conference, Chaplain Pete Breed and his wife Marge put together a tribute to the nine fallen warriers from within the district.  The certificates were ordered through National Headquarters and are free.  After the district meeting the closest Post collected the certificates to take home and present to the families at a future event.

Pete learned about the program from an article in a recent issue of  VFW Magazine and felt that this was a perfect way for Posts to honor the fallen.  When a certificate is ordered it is shipped within 72 hours so that it would likely arrive in time for a funeral honors presentation.
