We attended a wonderful banquet hosted by Support Our Soldiers of Alabama. This organization was founded by the parents of Lcpl Thomas Rivers and does incredible work for our service members.

The event was MC'd by Janice Rogers WBRC and featured a keynote address from Retired Sgt. Jeff Struecker. He was awarded the Silver Star for his actions in Mogadishu, better known as Black Hawk Down.

Please consider supporting their ongoing mission.

We had a very busy and rewarding Memorial Day. Our day began with a private ceremony alongside the parents of Lcpl Thomas Rivers, followed by the main ceremony at the Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo.

Next, we held a brief ceremony at the plaque behind the new Alabaster City Hall. This plaque was originally erected by James Phillips, owner of the Buck Creek Cotton Mill, to honor the mill employees who fell during WWII.

We concluded the day by joining the employees at Lowe's of Alabaster for their ceremony and the playing of Taps.

It was a truly full and meaningful day of remembrance.

Looks like a lot of volunteers showed up to place flags on every grave marker at the National Cemetary in Montevallo. Several members of VFW POST 12185 were on hand to assist.
Memorial Day is to honor and remember those who gave their life for us in defense of our country and our way of life. Please remember this as you enjoy your friends, families, and backyard cookouts.

Stop by and say hi. We are in front of Lowe's in Alabaster until 2pm.
