As happened across the country, John J. Morris Post 62 (Peoria, Ariz.) paid respect for Patriot Day. As with most events at the post, the day started with over a dozen Riders pulling up to kick the event off. Everyone filed outside and the color guard started the activities. The chaplain gave the opening prayer, followed by speeches by the post, Auxiliary, Riders and Sons. After the chaplain gave the closing prayer, everyone went back inside to reflect on what happened that day and how much it changed our nation.
