4.26.2025 AMVETS 24 hr Watch Fire.

Saturday (4.26.2025) AMVETS Post #23 (Hartford City, IN) had the Starting of the Fire for our Watchfire Event to Honor the Fallen. Video Below is 12 minutes long.

This tradition is to honor all of our fallen Heroes who lost their lives in battle. We honor them by keeping this fire going for 24 hours without letting it go out. Friends and Family that gather to watch this event has the ability to Honor those family or friends that has served and lost their lives doing so by putting a long on the fire in their memory.

We also perform a Flag Retirement Ceremony where we Burn the Tattered and Worn-out Flag. This was done on (4.27.2025). Video is a little over 13 minutes long.

On 4.27.2025 we closed out the Watchfire event with putting out the fire after honoring all of those who served that has fallen. Video is a little over 8 minutes long.

All 3 Videos together is roughly about 30 minutes long. I hope you enjoyed the long standing tradition of honoring our fallen as well as the Flag Retirement Ceremony. All Flags that are retired, they do NOT touch the ground, The ashes of the retired flags are gathered and put in a place that never touches the ground.

RIP to our Fallen Soldiers.

Exceeded our Quota!

 

From our Endevour into the 30 Hours of Gaming Challenge, We've went from 16.21 hours on Day One, to 156 hours on Day 6.

Still today and all day tomorrow to get some more game time in. Along our journey we had another Teammate join in on the Gaming Challenge to help us achieve our goal of 150 hours total for 5 people on the team. Unfortunately, 1 member became sick and had trouble logging in some hours, So our other teammates stepped up and has logged more hours in to get our quota and MORE. So we've achieved our goal of 150 hours and more with still almost 2 days left of game time. We've spread the word of #StopSoldierSuicide with the gaming event, so hopefully this'll bring #SuicideAwareness and #SuicidePrevention to #SuicidePrevenion2023 .

We need to support our #Troops / #Veterans anytime we can as they've done things that we could not. They fought for our nation, They fought for our "Freedom", something that we weren't capable of doing. They Deserve our Respect.

Support our Troops that need our help because we need theirs.
