Guest speaker, Burkburnett Assistant City Manager Dusty Burkybile, took the podium to reflect and share his stories of fighting overseas and losing two men in the line of duty while fighting for our freedom.
The incoming Post Commander for VFW 10455, Ted Brumet, said it's important to remember those we lost so their legacy will never die.
'This is a reminder for everybody, at any age, of the sacrifices that have been made in order for us to live the freedoms that we enjoy here today. This is not about politics or anything along those lines. It's the reality that blood was shed so that we could enjoy our own lives all,' Brumet said.
Once the ceremony ended, a procession led those in attendance to the VFW post, where a community potluck lunch was held.
