To all of you,
I wish to express my gratitude for those that were able to give Honor to my husband BG (R) Arthur J Junot on 2 June at the Vet's Cemetery. The virus created a lot of problems, but we were able to get the Honor at the Church.
I am so proud of you and the way you show your devotion to the memory of deceased Veterans. "Ride Safe"
