🕯️ Last week our Post paused to remember. We held our POW/MIA remembrance ceremony, honoring those who never came home and the families who still wait for answers.

Post Chaplain Steve Tuttle led the ceremony, with our Auxiliary, standing together in red, helping carry out every detail with the respect it deserves. From the ceremonial table and its powerful symbolism to the moment of silence and salute, it was a solemn reminder of the cost of service and the promise we make to never forget.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us. You Are Not Forgotten. 🇺🇸
