“I look at the veterans who have retired prior to me, and they’re the ones who have set the footsteps for me to be able to follow in my military career,” Isenberg said.
The challenge coin the veterans received said ‘Stand for the flag. Kneel for the fallen.’.
Family members of veterans who have passed away in the last year from the facility were present to participate in the ceremony.
