This service also recognized families for being a strong support system while their spouses or loved ones served.
“I joined the Veterans Honor Guard to help do funerals and ceremonies. I’ve been with them for five years and I do not regret a minute of it,” said Jimmy McGill, the President of the Veterans Honor Guard/Crossroads.
