A formal ceremony was conducted at the Louisburg Armory, Sunday August 8, 2021, at an assembly of Headquarters, 5th Battalion, 113th Field Artillery Regiment, North Carolina Army National Guard. The ceremony included a presentation of a Veterans of Foreign Wars official Adoption Certificate creating a stronger liaison between the Wake Forest Memorial VFW Post and the Army National Guard unit as it prepares to carry out the country’s world-wide missions.
The ceremony officially confirms an arrangement historically accepted by the two organizations over the past 20 years. Presenting the Adoption Certificate to Unit Commander, Captain Cody Byrd, was Past Post Commander and current District 7 Commander, David Martin, while members of the unit observed the presentation.
In addition to the formal presentation, unit soldiers were treated to a good old fashioned country cook out prepared by members of the Memorial Post along with their famous “Chuck Wagon” food trailer.
