On Saturday, Sept. 7, the John J. Morris Post 62 honor guard was invited to do a flag-folding ceremony at Luke Air Force Base for the retirement of Maj. Thomas Koontz. Our honor guard performed as part of the ceremony honoring a true hero. It would take too much time to list everything he did and where he was stationed. It was a great event highlighted by a presentation from Maj. Gen. Anne B. Gunter. It opened with the national anthem, presentation of colors, flag-folding (and presenting flag to Koontz), presentation by Gunter, retirement order, certificate of appreciation, spouse/child medal presentations and closing remarks by Koontz.
