Ride Report for Ride Captain Wil Janson
At the request of Sarah Perthes, Program & Event Coordinator West Laurel Hill Cemetery and Deputy Chief Steve Weber, Union Fire Association Lower Merion Township Fire Department, the Warriors’ Watch Riders were asked to stand colors during their tribute honoring the Military, Police, Fire & EMS.
Sixteen members of the Warrior’s Watch Riders formed a flag line on both sides of the road. Shortly after 2pm an Honor procession lead by the Lower Merion Police followed by Bagpipers and a Civil War Honor Guard, members of the Marine Corps League, the Vandiver-Moylan American Legion Post 355, and honored guests walked from the cemetery office under a fire department arch set up by the Gladwyne and Union Fire Association to the cemetery monument honoring America’s heroes.
After all had passed our flag line, the WWR fell in behind the procession and formed a flag line on either side of the monument during the ceremony. There were several guest speakers, and wreaths were laid for the five branches of the Military, Police, Fire and EMS. The Civil War Honor Guard fired several vollies from period black powder rifles. Taps played and doves were released at the end of the ceremony.
Respectfully submitted,
Wil Janson
