Tahoma ceremonies and events

Leathernecks:

Please see the Tahoma National Cemetery message below.  Second Saturday ceremonies scheduled for March and April, and the March 29th Vietnam Veterans event, are postponed.

Burials, which include military honors, which we perform at the committal service will continue under normal scheduling. Second Saturday ceremonies will resume on May 9th, which we have the assigned duty day.

Again, while events and ceremonies are being postponed, this has no impact on the Leatherneck Honor Guard scheduled duty days for March, April and May.

Bill Smiley, Tahoma Coordinator, will make his usual and customary phone notification on Monday, March 16th with the Third Tuesday, March 17th Duty Day schedule.

My prayers are with you and your families that you remain healthy and happy.

Larry Alcantara, Commander

------------------------------------------------------------

ALL,

The Coronavirus continues to impact more communities around the country and the world.  Public health officials are warning the public, especially those that are sick or vulnerable based on age and/or a pre-existing health condition, to practice social distancing and avoid large group activities. To that end, we are postponing all events and ceremonies (excluding burial services) that are scheduled to occur at Tahoma between now and April 15, 2020.  For Tahoma National Cemetery, this will include our 2d Saturday Honors Service for both March and April, as well as our planned Vietnam Veterans Ceremony on March 29th. At this time, we do not have a re-schedule date for the Vietnam Veterans Ceremony. We are hopeful that we can resume the 2d Saturday Honors Service in May on May 9th.

We truly appreciate all of your continued service to Tahoma National Cemetery and our Veteran community. Please don’t hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

v/r,  JD

Jennifer Dehorty
