It was a cold and wet day, and yet we had nine people stand the flatline today, and two RCs to stand for SGT Johnston and honor him for his ultimate sacrifice. We’d like to thank CVMA 23-10 for coming out early and helping us set up flags and take them down, and thank them, Austin PGR, and two HOG members for standing with us today.
