Attorney Tait D. Elkie, who is also Commandant of the Marine Corps League Fountain Hills Detachment 1439 welcomed attendees. He began the ceremony calling upon those in attendance to remember the sacrifices that were made by our military veterans and their families for our nation. He also recognized those veterans in attendance, and held a moment of silence for those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice.
