ALR Dist 13 - Oak Hill Memorial Day 09

Pics are from top to bottom, text for a pic is under the pic, click on a pic for a larger pic..

American Legion Post 564 had the honor to put up flags at Oak Hill and the Vet service was at 1100. I rode in and the place was packed! Cars everywhere. Of course flying a PGR banner and a 3x5 flag, I got preference! GBG

Didn't know what was going on so stopped at the entrance and asked if any scoots came in, looking for a group... not much comment, on the way back to my ride Slick John pulled in behind me.

We broke all the rules and rode in to a good parking spot.



I was just shooting shots... flags everywhere.


Flags everywhere you looked!


Got a shot of the honor guard before their work.


Many groups were lined up for the event, caught a bit of John on the right.


Another group....


The main path to the podium.


I tried to get the pipers one their way... in the middle;..


This is the event path to the podium.


I took this pic for all the Gold Star Moms. That it is their wreath.


I decided to scoot before it became difficult... so I took a pic of Slick John! Thanks for being there!


Shot some pics on the way out...


The pipers on stand by...

There was a flag line with no folks.. leading to the back of the podium... looked like a good shot! Great event! We had 2 Dist 13 ALR patches at the event!

And I really want to thank all that put in the time to put up the flags! God Bless you! I don't do anything at 0600...er other than the potty thing.. us old folks 'ya know! GBG

AL Post 564 Did a great job! Jake said there were a lot of folks to help putting up the flags and it went smooth. Thank every one of you for helping out and making this a very nicely decorated event!
