The Civilian portion includes pledge of allegiance, an indication, and a speech by a Marine Corp Lieutenant Colonel,  BethAnne Canero, LTC. BethAnne is also an officer of the Guardian Revival Colleagues. According to John, the Guardian Revival Colleagues started in Beacon with 5 employees and now has 75 employees. Guardian Revival is a New York State 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization chartered to revive and preserve the mental health and wellbeing of veterans and first responders - our guardians - at no cost to them. They do this through various programs, including Guardian Encore (music program) Another Summit (outdoor adventure program), and Boots and Paws (service and companion dogs matched with a human).

The event will conclude at 12pm after the Laying of the Wreathes, Battlefield Cross, Rifle Salute, and Taps.
