A Presentation was given
by Verla Fish on the mean-
ing of what our Veterans
have given us and why we
want to honor them on
a special Christmas cer-
emony as well as we do all
the rest of each year. We
never want to forget what
they have sacrifi ced for our
freedom. The ceremony
ended with the song I Am
American by Skyhawk and
taps by Sonya.
We wish to thank the VFW Borderline Riders, Cadet Honor Guard, the
Wreath Presenters, Skyhawk for the music and taps, Sherry Andreasen
and Gordon Cansemer, Quartzsite Town Council for their support; the
Police for escorting the Parade and to Rain of The Desert Messenger for
getting the pictures and event in the paper and last but not least, to all
who attended the program, Thank you for being there.
The Wreaths were removed to the VFW where they will hang on the
lattice throughout the
Christmas season.
