Northampton Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4714 is seeking veterans willing to serve on its honor guard. The honor guard provides military honors, when requested by families, at veterans’ funerals, memorial services and celebrations of life.

According to the VFW, the ceremony exemplifies the “paying of respect and the final demonstration of the country’s gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our nation.”

The VFW honor guard is experiencing dwindling participation.

Veterans interested in hearing more about joining the honor guard are asked to call 610-216-8952. No experience is necessary.
