On Nov. 10, John J. Morris Post 62 (Peoria, Ariz.) went to a nearby care facility for a celebration of life for one of our members, Buck Owens. While he was not the singer, he was just as loved by those in attendance talking about his smile, huge heart for others and OK being a bit feisty at times. Laughter and tears abounded. Our honor guard did a flag-folding ceremony prior to presenting it to his widow. Tip of the cap to our post for going outside to remember our fellow Legionnaire.
