Chapter Vice President Ernie Coggins organized the ceremony and was the master of ceremonies. The keynote speaker was Kelly Shepperson, winner of the Virginia SAR Rumbaugh Orations Contest, who will be competing for national honors in Knoxville next week. CMM Registrar Bill Schwetke led the Color Guard.
Music for the march was provided by the 10 members of the Frederick Town Fife and Drum, which added considerable flair to the event.
