Color Guard for Boston Bruins November 10, 2016
On Thursday November 10, 2016, the eve of Veterans Day, The Boston Bruins planned a Military Appreciation Night at the TD Garden to honor all Veterans. A joint color guard consisting of all five branches of the military was planned and it included representation from the Auxiliary. OS2 Tony Lombardi from Station Boston and Division 12 Color Guard Commander Kevin P. Ritchie represented Team Coast Guard for the evenings presentation which included a nine member color guard unit. The carefully orchestrated presentation had the unit along with two World War II Veterans in wheel chairs and the national anthem singer carefully placed on the carpet that was rolled onto the ice. As the national anthem began to play Auxiliarist Kevin Ritchie rendered a military salute as the joint service members lowered their flags. This was the first time a member of the Division 12 Color Guard participated at a Bruins game presentation and the first known time an Auxiliarist acted as Commander for a combined branches joint colors presentation. During the game OS2 Lombardi and Auxiliarist Ritchie met with Rear Admiral Steven D. Poulin, Commander of First District Coast Guard who was an official guest of the Bruins for the evening. The Team Coast Guard Members viewed the game from the "Boardroom" seating area that included gourmet food and a comfortable seating area. Team Coast Guard looks forward to future presentations with the Boston Bruins.
