On Sunday, October 23, 2022, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., at American Legion Post 328 headquarters, 306 E. Main Street, Morrison, IL, a Celebration of Life gathering was held in tribute to the late Dale Usterbowski. Read his Obituary here.
Outside, Sergeant-at-Arms Jerry Brearton presented the ceremonial United States Flag to Nancy Usterbowski, widow of Dale Usterbowski. Dale was Commander of American Legion Post 328 for eight years.
The Honor Guard stood at “Present Arms” formation during the flag presentation, waiting to fire Three Volleys as a salute to Dale. That was followed by the playing of “Taps” by Carolyn Aiken.
