Honor Guard
Post 237 has one of the few fully uniformed Honor Guard units in the region. This elite unit provides funeral services for veterans, leads local parades, posts colors for special events and conducts ceremonies to properly retire any American flags that have come to the end of their service. From January 2025 to December 2025, the all volunteer Post Honor Guard provided service to 135 veterans as requested by their families while traveling 3,327 miles to do so.
Our Honor Guard is 100 % self-sustainable and no funds are being spent from the post coffers to maintain it. Every individual that serves in this unit does so with great pride and honor because, as veterans or those that serve veterans, we all understand the importance and significance of the ceremonies we perform. The services we provide are invaluable to the community, to all veterans and to their families.
If you are in need of the services of our HONOR GUARD to honor your loved one at their final resting place please contact the Post at 256-883-9911, and leave a message for the Honor Guard Commander, Earl Hokanson, or email Earl directly at: hongrdcdr@legion237.com
You can also have the funeral home contact them for the services. The service that they offer is very special in honoring the veteran and their family.
