Richard Azzaro

Centennial Flower Ceremony

On 11 November 2021,  Richard Azzaro took part in the Centennial Flower Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.   In addition to his role on that day, Richard was also part of the team that planned the event and he is the driving force behind our efforts to document the experiences of those who participated in the event.  He served in the United States Army during the 1960's and was himself, a Tomb Guard.  He was standing guard when President Kennedy was assassinated and again during the funeral.   His tireless commitment to the men and women of the United States Military has spanded over 50 years and counting.
