THIS ARTICLE IS A TESTAMENT STAR GROUP VETERANS HELPING VETERANS RECEIVED FROM ONE OF IT'S MEMBERS, MR. HOWARD HAWK Sergeant at Arms
I want to thank Star Group Veterans Helping Veterans and Mr. Haywood for what you do as the President of Star Group. I am just honored to be a part of this great organization.
Today, (Memorial Day) Star Group hosted our own Memorial Day Wreath Laying Ceremony where we paid tribute and honor to every fallen soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live free. Even though we had inclement weather, and had to bring the Wreath Laying ceremony inside, it was done with class and very well organized, the weather nor not having lights (as the electricity went out due to the storm) didn't stop Star Group from paying tribute to these brave men's and women's.
The Event had many people and area Veteran Groups who did not allow the weather to keep them from paying tribute. The program was awesome and had a great speaker, CSM (R) Elijah King Jr. The National Anthem sung by a singer with a beautiful voice and “Taps” was played by bugler, Mr. Arthur Bryan. The members of Star Group who made this event all possible did a fantastic job as always. Mr. Haywood you have some outstanding members, I know Star Group will continue making an impact in the Copperas Cove and area communities.
Also, Star Group Veterans Helping Veterans participation in the area Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Killeen Civic & Conference Center, was another display of class and professionalism by Mr. Barker and Mr. Cook laying our wreath.
I am honored to be your Sergeant at Arms. God Bless you your family, and the Star Group family.
