On May 26th, 2018 Veterans that have not been claimed are taken to Tahoma National Cemetery. Over the pass several years, Post 236 has been on the 24th Ave Overpass, waving flags as the escort comes by. Each year, Post 236 adds more flags and more members come out to help.
Those present were:
Commander: Ken Christian, Jr
Adjutant: Charlene Christian
SAA: Garry Squance
Chaplain: Ken Roberts
Past Commander: Alan Lentz
Post 236 Members:
Jack Campbell
Joe Gallagher
Stan Campbell
There were many others that came by and helped out. We were even visited by our State Representative Jesse Young and his family.
We had a lot of people on bikes and cars that slowed down say thank you for our service. There was also a UPS Driver who stopped by briefly and grabbed a flag and stood with us.
