Veterans Still Serving America
George Weiss, Jr.

November 23, 2010 -- World War II Marine veteran George Weiss, Jr., discusses the Fort Snelling Memorial Rifle Squad that he founded over thirty years ago when a fellow veteran and friend of his died. It now involves 130 dedicated volunteer members attending burial services for veterans and troops, who would otherwise not receive this final military salute in honor of their service to America.

George Weiss also was recognized for his ongoing service to America with the Presidential Citizens Medal in August 2010 that was presented by President Obama.
