Details |
We will stage at the support vehicle for our briefing and assist establishing the flag line if necessary. We will stand the flag line to greet the family and friends of our Veteran and Retired Firefighter. The family has requested the PGR fold and present the US Flag, followed by the presentation of the COA. At the completion of the presentations, we will strike the flag line, store them in the support vehicle, be debriefed and dismissed. |
