Memorial Day 2020 Wrap-Up
|
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 27 American Legion Post 313 members for attending the Memorial Day Observance today at Veterans Plaza to honor those men and women who sacrificed all for our country. Fortunately, the weather cooperated and we were able to proceed with no rain during the observance. I believe we were able to have a very nice event. Thanks for showing up early to help set up and also take down after. Unity as a group of veterans was very evident. To be able to do this in such a short time frame was fantastic.
I am so proud of the CMTV American Legion Post 313 members!! We will continue to grow as an organization to support Veterans and our Community. A special thanks to those who participated in the event. Commander Cecchini was the guest speaker and did a great job. The Voss’s were so impressed with the wreath presentation for their son and our namesake Captain Mark Tyler Voss and could not thank us enough. We also had a great response from our First Responders in attendance and we appreciate them all. Again, thanks to all and hope to be together soon. Don R. Gray 1st Vice Commander CMTV American Legion Post 313 Boerne, Texas |
