Memorial Day honors those who gave their lives so that others may enjoy freedom.  On May 24, 2025, VFW Post 845 continued its mission of honoring our fallen.  A detail of VFW members performed cemetery honors at the gravesites for local veterans killed in action.  Post 845 provided a color guard, firing squad, and tributes to each of our fallen comrades at eight local cemeteries.  We will never forget the sacrifices made to perpetuate American freedom.
