Sgt. Grit, about the middle of June on my road trip back to the midwest, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to you and your staff. I want to say that I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to let me present you with a photo of our memorial honor detail.
We are a all volunteer honor detail who renders honors to all veterans, at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside Ca. We currently have about 70 active members. If anyone would like to visit our website, againtheyserve.org , you will see what this unit is all about. It's an honor to serve with these Marines again. Our main focus is providing a dignified military service for veterans and their familes. Riverside National Cemetery is the busiest of all National Cemetery's in the country with about 20-30 burials per day. From seeing our website, 2 other units have been formed to achieve the same goal, Semper Fi #2 in central Ca., and Semper Fi #3 in Houston Tx. Again, thanks to you and your staff for making our visit time well spent.
