Despite the threat of rain and thunder showers,several members and their spouses and other residents showed up to attend this annual observance.
Shortly after 9:00 AM, the bus arrived with the group from Oswego who carry out this service for outlying regions. Commander A. Joseph Wallace was present as well as most of the Minetto Post 486 officers.
Despite our prayers, the rain came down and wet down the service but it went on anyway and was well presented by the team.
Prayers were given and flowers and a wreath were presented with several readings followed by the playing of "Taps" on the bugle. It was a solemn time to remember those who have paid the ultimate price and given their lives in the defense of our great country. Surely we are proud and appreciate their sacrifice for our freedoms.
God Bless the USA
