Davidson County Veterans Honor Guard members are active in the community and many of our members are also members of other community or veterans organizations, councils, or fraternities.

We have members who have been fortunate to participate in one of the North Carolina Triad Honor flights experience to Washington DC.  We participate in many annual events at the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located on Interstate 85, in Thomasville, NC. Our members perform a community Flag Retirement Ceremony two times a year at our meeting location, for anyone who needs to have an un-serviceable American flag properly retired.
