please be at the cemetery no later than 10:30 PM and ready to begin
preparing the area for Mr. Honza's service as soon as possible.

 

 

Weather for the Service: Mostly sunny. Breezy. Highs in the lower 80s. South
winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to around 35 mph. 

 

The flag/water truck will be at both locations. As the summer weather has
now joined us, remember that hydration and plenty of electrolytes are your
best protection. 

 

                                   Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! 

 

Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and appreciated.

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor
and respect for this true American hero and an honored member of the
"greatest generation".  

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Mike "Gunner" Lambert
