On Memorial Day, Laurie and I went to Devils Lake and participated in the ceremony done by the local VFW. (Laurie is an honorary member of the Ladies' Aux) The Elk's band and a choir performed as well as bagpipers from Fargo. The Air Force Honor Guard from GFAB performed a MIA/POW tribute. We, along with other veterans and Gold-star parents placed wreaths on stands to signify soldiers lost is all the modern wars WWI on as well as DAV (Disabled American Vets) and VFWs. It was moving and tearful but we appreciated being part of it again and appreciate the VFW more than I used to. Here are a couple of pictures.
