given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding
general, will speak at the event, which includes a wreath-laying, a
three-round salute fired by an honor guard, and “Taps” performed by a member
of the 1st Infantry Division Band.
The ceremony is open to the public; however, those without a Department of
Defense ID card need to arrive early at the Henry Gate visitor center to get
