Veterans Day
Submitted by silverfox20 on Thu, 12/08/2005 - 2:32am.

Very sloppy reporting. I know that the PTC Veterans Memorial is sponsored by VFW Post 9949. It wasn't just "American Legion Posts" at the Veterans Day service. The Commander of VFW Post 9949 was the master of ceremonies. The wreath is being placed by the Quartermaster of VFW Post 9949 and either the Commander or Past Commander of American Legion Post 105 and is stored in the QM's attic year round. It is brought out twice a year, for Memorial Day & Veterans Day. Even in years when there have been no Veterans Day service the Quartermaster has placed the wreath at the PTC Veterans Memorial and taken it down at dusk. When rain showers or high winds come up the QM has removed the wreath and put it in storage to preserve it for further use..
