A color guard from the U.S. Navy Honor Guard supports a ceremony commemorating the 125th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Maine, Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Feb. 15, 2023.On Feb. 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded off the coast of Havana, Cuba, leading to the loss of 260 of her crew. Due to Spanish policy, burials had to be made within 24 hours, therefore the initial crew recovered in the aftermath of the disaster were buried at the Colon Cemetery in Havana. On March 30, 1898, Congress approved a bill authorizing for their remains to be disinterred and transferred to ANC. On Dec. 28, 1899, 165 sets of remains were interred in Section 24 with a full military honors service. The USS Maine was eventually raised, and the ships mast was transported by the Navy to ANC where it was placed next to Section 24 onto a granite base meant to represent the turret of the battleship. The names of those who died aboard the Maine were inscribed onto the base. Sixty-five sets of remai

For the members of the Idaho Patriot Guard Riders Memorial Day is a weekly remembrance. The Patriot Guard Riders are a national organization with state chapters spread out in regional areas. The PGR creed is simple - Standing for those who stood for us. In Idaho, the PGR is often present at the committal services for active duty members of the military, members of the Idaho National Guard, and Veterans that take place at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery in the foothills of Boise and communities throughout Idaho. Boise PGR members often ride or drive at their own expense to services for veterans in eastern Idaho, about a 3 - 4 hour drive from Boise. Some PGR members are veterans, some not. Their common bond is reverence for those who have served their nation through military service or as first responders. PGR presence at services in Idaho is by invitation or request of family. According to Mr. James Earp, Bureau Chief at the State of Idaho Veterans Cemetery the PG
