Whom the Bell Tolls: Memorial Day Observance - Battery I 1st US Artillery at Woodbury Minnesota VFW

American Civil War Reenactors of Battery I - 1st US Artillery honoring the U.S. military personnel who died while serving.
We fired our 10 pound Parrot rifled cannon (with blanks) 3 times to salute the fallen.
A "Veteran", whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to, and including his life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact. www.wdbyvfwpost9024.org/

Thanks pard .. there was so much more to this ceremony than the tolling of the bells and our artillery salute. Talking to veterans, City Console members and the young members.
