The list of Veterans we've lost in the past year as been updated.
On Monday May 25th , weather permitting, AMVETS Post 46 will conduct a brief Memorial Day observance at the Veterans Memorial Park. In order to comply with the latest directive the attendance will be limited to ten members of Post 46 including Joe Moore who will broadcast the event live on http://beaverisland.tv. It will also be taped by WVBI and rebroadcast later. Joe Moore will also make the ceremony available on the web.
As is our tradition we will pay our respects to those veterans from the island or who had ties here. Here are the names we have on file and if we have missed anyone please email us at amvetspost46@yahoo.com
Matt Kinzinger-US Navy
Kirk Felix-Coast Guard

Please help us observe the proper protocols and view the ceremony on TV or radio.
Thanks
Bob Tidmore

Re: Memorial Day Observance
REMINDER...the service is not open to the public but you may view it at http://beaverisland.tv . Also it would be a nice gesture to visit the Island cemeteries and pay your respects to the Veterans (and everyone else) we have lost.
