Rededication of the VFW war memorials in the Ajo Cemetery on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022

The rededication of the VFW's war memorials in the Ajo Cemetery. Before the video began, Gordon Chadwick offered the opening prayer. As the video begins, master of ceremonies Ken Farmer welcomed everyone and introduced Ramon "Moni" Alvillar who talked about his father Ray Alvillar, his father's tour of duty in Vietnam, and how the memorials came to be. Moni Alvillar then helped Charles "Chip" Schwarz & Zachary Phillips unveil the memorials. Lupe Alvarez read the names of the fallen with Chuck Johnson ringing a bell after each name before Ken Farmer closed the service.
