VFW Susitna Post 9365 Honors Memorial Day 2024
Contributed by Adrian A. Hart, Post Senior Vice Commander
VFW Susitna Post 9365 honored our fallen on Memorial Day 2024 at Wasilla's Aurora Cemetery. VFW Susitna Post selects a veteran's final resting place every year and honors our fallen in this solemn ceremony. The event began at the Matsu Veterans Wall of Honor at 801 Wasilla Fishhook Rd, Wasilla, AK. The event involved a procession to the cemetery supported by the Wasilla Police Department and led by the Scouts carrying our nation's colors to the cemetery, followed by the comrades and auxiliary of the post and community members. Upon arriving at the designated site, the ceremony included a 21-gun salute and taps performed by the American Legion Post 35 Honor Guard.
The post also supported Am Vets Post 9 with this year's Matsu Veteran's Wall of Honor service, concluding the day with a community barbecue at the post home.
VFW Susitna Post 9365 honors our veterans and our community. One of our upcoming events is our Fourth of July event, held after the annual parade. We invite the community to come and celebrate our Nation's Birthday.
In addition to hosting several community events, VFW Post 9365 supports our youth in pursuit of higher education through our youth programs. For more information, visit VFW Post 9365
