Chaplains Report April 9th 2013

Chaplains Report
9 April 2013

March was a busy month.

Four trips to the cemetery for services. We did services for thirteen (13) Veterans,3 Vietnam Veterans.

We did our first service ( that I can remember) that was a combined cremains and casket.

One was a separate service with the Family present.

The Patriot Guard was present for all services, even splitting their members present between interments and services so they were present for everyone.

One trip was made to dispose of flags. They should be caught up until "Memorial Day".
