Volunteer Groups and Positions within the PostHonors Rifle Squad and Color GuardPost 432 Honors Rifle Squad was organized to assist our regular uniformed military men and women in rendering military honors at memorial services for our fellow veterans. The squad also performs at various functions such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day, and special occasions. New members are always welcome and much needed. Anyone interested in joining the ranks of the Rifle Squad should be willing to give a small amount of their personal time to training and taking part in the various ceremonies. We try to keep the close order drill very simple and basic so it should be easy for anyone to learn.
