Military Honors will be performed in honor of those veterans interred in the month of October who had no one attending their service.
The names will be read, the Pennsylvania Military Honors team will present the flag to a cemetery volunteer who will receive the flag on behalf of all of the veterans. The Guardians will perform the rifle salute and provide live Taps if available. If not, the electronic bugle will be used.
The burial schedule has been blocked off after the 1:30 time slot to allow for our ceremony.
It is our hope that all cemetery employees will be present along with any interested individuals wishing to attend. Feel free to invite anyone you wish.
