Tonight, we carried on with our tradition of lighting a single candle for each of our fallen members on the night before the memorial. This year, we did something a little different. We placed a picture of each if our fallen members next to their names on the Wall of Honor. This way, there is a face to the name that will be viewed by all who attend the service tomorrow. May they all continue to rest in peace.
