To the family of John Milligan,

John was a member of our post for over 64 years. We were sorry to hear of John's passing. Our color guard was not notified of his death so we could come and give him a military farewell.
If you need assistant from us we are at your disposal.

Again, we are so sorry for your loss.

Service officer / Post 854
