William Entrekin Purple Heart Memorial Service
Recently, Last Salute was asked by VFW Post 9462 Commander, Bob Dunn, to present a Purple Heart medal to the grandson of a WW2 hero. Some time ago, the medal was lost. The family of this hero, William Entrekin, United States Army, wanted to replace the medal but were unsure how to do it.
VFW Commander Bob Dunn has a WW2 Purple Heart medal stored in the post’s office and felt that it could serve no better purpose than to be represented to the family. Specifically, to the grandson of William, Ryan Naylor.
Ryan is 13 and a Sea Cadet. He intends to join the military when he gets older and is extremely proud to be the grandson of a WW2 hero.
Below are some photos from the ceremony.

Vineland Veterans Memorial For Pandemic Loss
Last Salute has for some time wanted to conduct a memorial honors ceremony for those veterans lost during the pandemic that did not receive military funeral honors. Most veterans that died during the height of the pandemic did not receive military funeral honors as the military suspended service for the safety of its personnel.
Last Salute continued to conduct honors during this period as far away as King of Prussia. We were unable to conduct services at the veterans homes so with the help of Rone Funeral Home in Vineland we organized a mass honors ceremony to honor all those veterans that died during the pandemic.
We would like to thank all those who attended for their support and commitment to honor those that served.
