As the bugle sounded outside the Polk County Courthouse Nov. 12 at the Veteran’s Day service, Polk County Honor Guard members stood at attention showing their reverence for the sacrifice of service members. Honor guard members don’t choose to be patriotic one or two days a year, however. No, these men don military-like dress at every opportunity even when that cause for it is a somber one like that of the military funeral they attended on Veteran’s Day. “I just feel like it’s my duty,” said Polk County Honor Guard Commander Glenn Burgess. “It’s my responsibility, as one of the survivors, that we honor the ones that have served our country. I wish you could see what it is like when we serve at a funeral. To see the tears in family members’ eyes; it really means something to people.” (Continued on page 7)
