ATTENTION VETERANS !<\/strong><\/p>\n

You once stood PROUD in your uniform. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Stand PROUD once again, in the uniform of the PINELLAS COUNTY VETERANS COUNCIL HONOR GUARD. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The PCVC Honor Guard\u2019s major activity is to provide \u201cMilitary Honors\u201d for our deceased Brothers and Sisters. We are available to our veteran\u2019s families at no charge to honor fallen loved ones, at memorial, remembrance, and funeral services. While grim, these events offer solace and closure to the families, and are extremely dignified and respectful while honoring our fallen comrades. We render a brief homily; fold and present the flag; fire a Three Volley Salute; and play Taps. This service is very rewarding to us, knowing that we have served a fellow veteran in his or her final moment, while providing closure for the family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Our other major activity is \u201cPresenting The Colors\u201d for school graduations, civic clubs, the Tampa Bay Rays Baseball games, corporate events, and most anyone else that wants to start off their affair patriotically. We also march the Colors in local parades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are currently expanding our ranks, and are looking for Honorably Discharged vets, male or female, from any of our Military Services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time commitment is small. Most funerals require two hours, including driving and dressing time. \u201cPresenting The Colors\u201d usually lasts long enough for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem, plus travel\/dressing time. The Operations Officer emails the schedule, and the HG members return email saying which events they are available for. We have members that work full time, part time, or are \u201csnow-birds\u201d. Everyone fits the schedule into their life as they can. (If married, \u201choney-do\u2019s\u201d generally have priority.) We have a monthly meeting, normally lasting one hour. There are no dues, and the PCVC pays part of the initial uniform cost, and all replacement costs.\u00a0 JOIN US !<\/strong><\/p>\n
