2023 Memorial Day Events

James Joyce - 5/29/2023

The 2023 Memorial Day event brought to you by Tower Post 10692, started at the Friedhof Grafenwöhr. Joined by the Vilseck High School JROTC as our Honor Guard, led by our Chaplain Cromartie as the MC, and the Scouts playing taps, the Officers laid their offerings at the grave site of one of our own, Marvin Boone, Jr. Also in attendance was his lovely Wife, his Daughter and several other family members and friends. Following this, we were led by members of two local Veteran Motorcycle clubs, and the rest of us carpooled to the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial (KZ-Gedenkstätte Flossenbürg). Surrounding the USA tomb at the back, bottom of the hill, we all held our second event of the day. With a good turnout of Comrades, family members and supporters, we closed out the day's events with lunch at the Hotel Zum Stich'n restaurant. Mark your calendars to join us next year!
