John J. Morris Post 62 Honor Guard Perform Several Days at Mobile Vietnam Wall Memorial

Peoria, AZ

The John J. Morris Post 62 in Peoria, Ariz., were daily supporters at the mobile Vietnam wall memorial. They performed taps four nights in a row and had their rifle team in action one afternoon. One night, there were two buglers playing taps on a 3-second delay of each other to create an echo effect. If you have ever heard it done that way, it is very stirring. On Saturday, April 13, the rifle team performed in the Arizona heat and gave a great performance. Tip of the cap to honor guard captain Rich Brown for his dedication to the event with his team.


The event was very organized with volunteers and information areas around the grounds.

The memorial is a sight to see to bring the reality of it all to your heart.
