Young Honor Guard

Description

Junior ROTC members of Lenape Regional High School in New Jersey served as the Honor Guard for yesterday's Philadelphia Memorial Day Service at the Korean War Memorial at Penn's Landing.
----
They did a magnificent job throughout the two-hour ceremony under a blazing sun.
---
I guess the flag must be left to furl where it may.

Terrific capture of these fine young men!! Wonder how hard it was to keep from taking a quick swipe at the flag on his head? #1574453

As always Michelle another great capture and tribute. Knowing the ROTC program and being part of the Honor Guard I'm sure the last thing he would want to do is break formation to move the flag. #11054398
