The Honor Guard does not receive any financial support from the Post, state or military. Donations to "VFW Post 1716 Honor Guard" are always welcome but not a factor in a veterans receiving Military Honors, for What we do, Comes from the heart! Our Honor Guard members are dedicated volunteers who purchase their own shoes, pants, ribbons and white shirt just to be a member, not to forget fuel and vehicle expenses. The Honor Guard has a restricted and dedicated account for its expenses. With fund raisers and donations, the Honor Guard members maintains its uniforms items, equipment and supplies. The team still needs to acquire rifle slings, replace some berets, refinish the rifles, and would like to get a collection of military flags (all 5 branches, POW and Old Glory with staffs and covers) to be used at funerals and patriotic assemblies. All donations are tax deductible and ask they be made out to "VFW Post 1716 HONOR GUARD". P.O. Box 716, Freedom, CA 95019. Letters of appreciation with our Tax ID number are mailed to all our supporters.
