One of Sue Green’s contributions to the KAVV is the printing and packaging of the Honor Volley that we present to the family. ” 25 packets and 3 hours later… ❤️” was her comment. The shells are buffed by Tim, Son Tim, and probably CJ too. Thanks for all you do Sue!

Once in a while, we get more people than equipment. March 12, 2022 was one of those days. Larry Olle even showed up after the picture was taken! It was another cold one, but the total was 14. Hope you are having fun in the sun Roy!

Also, Long time KAVV Member Jim Rossman is now a member of the Honor Guard. Welcome!

Last night, Rich Willoughby, a former Navy Corpsman, answered the calls of guests at the funeral we were guarding for someone with medical experience. Rich rodger’d up and followed them to a woman who was having a seizure. With his experience, he was able to provide instruction and comfort to the other guests while awaiting the ambulance. Other members of the KAVV helped out by directing the ambulance and clearing a path in the snow. The woman came out of the seizure very much ok. Glad you are part of the team Rich!
