On Saturday, Feb. 21, there was a celebration of life held for a good friend and proud veteran, Ronald Jackson (RJ), in Tonto Basin. We wanted to reach out and thank the Payson Military Honor Guard for all they did for the family and our community. They performed a flag ceremony, played Taps, and held a 21 gun salute. They did all of this on their own time and in a highly professional manner. It's groups such as this which give our communities good names and make us want to live here.
