Pan-O-Prog Parade Lead! Lakeville's Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW Auxiliary and American Legion posts marched in the lead at the Pan-O-Prog parade. A good turn-out of "marchers" enabled a full color guard of flags and rifles. The Post Jeep and trailer and Hometown Heroes car followed the color guard with more Vets. Rod kept a good cadence through the entire parade route. Past 90 degrees, this year’s Pan-O-Prog was the hottest folks could remember. Despite the heat thousands of parade attendees along the route stood up to pay their respects as our nation's colors passed them by.

VFW Post 210 rolled into July with a monthly General Member Meeting. Top on the list was planning out for the upcoming Color Guard to march at the head of the Lakeville Pan-O-Prog parade. Always a big annual event. After that Post activities will slow down a bit for the summer. After the meeting some members headed over to Lakeville Brewery for an After Action Report.

Memorial Day Cemetery honors visits. VFW Post 210, American Legion Post 44, and the Lakeville VFW Auxiliary fielded their annual color guard to celebrate Memorial Day. The Color Guard was on the road well before 8:00 AM to convoy to 12 local cemeteries and the Lakeville Veterans Memorial at Aronson Park. This year the new Post Commander Eric Wendt led the ceremonies, with past Commander Tim Dennison keeping everything on track. Friendly crowds attended the short cemetery ceremonies; to remember veterans they knew; and to honor and show their respect to veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Color Guard was joined by members of the 1776 Riders chapter from Apple Valley; and local Scout troops and two high school buglers rounded out the Memorial Day team. After the ceremony at Aronson Park the color guard team was joined by friends and family for a short picnic.
