Gordon Webber, commander of James A. McKechnie Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10881, thanked those who came.
“This is something I need to do,” he said. “If we forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,” Webber quoted respectively from Presidents Reagan and Kennedy.
Webber also read an account of Marine Private Giles McCoy, stationed on the naval cruiser USS Indianapolis at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco Bay in 1945. McCoy’s actions and those of the rest of the crew would lead directly to the final blows against the Japanese Empire.
