Fox & Weeks donates bugle to Savannah Police Department Honor Guard
Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors was pleased to present an incribed bugle to the Savannah Police Department's Honor Guard in apprecaition for the role the Guard plays honoring fallen heroes of law enforcement and their survivors.
The inscription on the bugle presented to Assistant Chief Robert Gavin, Major Michelle Halford
and the Honor Guard's commander, Lieutenant Chris Talley, from the Savannah Poilce Department reads: Presented by Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors in Heartfelt Appreciation of the Savannah Police Department Honor Guard for the Unwavering Dedication and Service.
The Savannah Police Department’s Honor Guard was formed in 1975 and today consists of more than a dozen sworn officers. These officers are all volunteers and range in rank from the newest recruit to 20-year veterans. They are expected to perform their regular jobs within the department, yet come together, as needed, when their services as guard members are required.
The unit performs at various events sponsored by the department and attends funerals for fallen officers in and out of the state. Through the years, the Honor Guard has received many compliments for its unique way of comforting the families of our fellow police officers who gave the supreme sacrifice. The Honor Guard performs rifle salutes and flag-folds at funerals for line-of-duty, active duty and retired officers.
The Honor Guard’s most important mission is to honor the fallen heroes of law enforcement and their survivors. Additionally, the Honor Guard travels throughout the tri-state area to honor police officers who were tragically killed while serving their communities.
Fox & Weeks has worked with the Savannah Police Department's Honor Guard since its inception and is immensely grateful for the service provided by the men and women who serve in this capacity.
