The Red Rose
Veterans Honor Guard continues a great tradition among men and women of
arms.
Even though for
many of us our time of active service is past we still believe that our
duty
is to honor
our country
and those that suffered, bled, and died for the cause of freedom!
The Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard is
composed of a select group of Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve personnel
as well as honorably discharged and retired members of the Army, Air Force,
Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines.
We are an all volunteer veterans organization
from Lancaster County, PA and stay busy providing full military honors
for military funerals as well as presenting the colors for various events
as requested .
In fact, during 2011 the Red Rose Veterans
Honor Guard provided military funeral honors for a record 373 deceased
veterans. A number that high means that on some days the Red Rose
Veterans Honor Guard participated in more than one funeral.
All members must be trained to perform
our many and varied functions and activities. For example, prior
to any member being allowed to participate in a funeral detail they must
receive specialized training and certification by representatives of the
Department of Defense.
The Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard is
well versed in military customs and courtesies and continuing training
is provided to each color guard or honor guard member .
The honor guards of the Red Rose Veterans
Honor Guard proudly wear full dress military uniforms when performing their
duties, whether as color guards or part of a military funeral detail, they
represent with pride their individual branch of service.
The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines,
Coast Guard and Merchant Marine can point with pride to this group of men
and women volunteers.
If you have an event that needs to render
the proper honors while presenting the colors of the United States, or
if you are a current or former member of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines,
Coast Guard and Merchant Marines and wish to join the Red Rose Veterans
Honor Guard, then please contact us!
