The ceremony began at 9am and ended around 10:30am. There were 25 cadets present from the Manta Ray Battalion, with their Senior Army Instructor, CSM (Retired) Richard Basa. <\/p>\n<p>The cadets were at the event by 7:20am and were setting up the 50-state flags. The well-known Manta Ray Battalion Color Guard Team did the posting and retiring of The Colors. During the remembering of our fallen heroes, cadets escorted their present family members to the final resting place of our fallen heroes. The wreath-bearers were C\/CPL Tyanna Sablan, and C\/CPL Arriane Antonio, and were assisted by C\/CPT Emmanuel Aquino.<strong> (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 30, 2016, Memorial Day was held at the Veteran\u2019s Cemetery at Marpi.
