Presiding officer of the ceremony Dwight Nelson shared why every man and woman he has severed with are more like his brothers and sisters in armed.

He said, "The friends that i severed with that are no longer with us. As a survivor of missing the shot and shell, I feel obligated to uphold them memory and keep their memory alive. Just grateful that the veteran community itself is just a family no matter what. It’s not just us veterans, it’s always the wives and the children and the families that are a part of it also."

There was food, live entertainment provided by the Duluth drum and bugle corps and the Denfeld High School choir. Military Honors were given by the Duluth Honor Guard, John Marshal Captain.
