Welcome from the TBRJ Honor Guard Commander

 

"Welcome to our web page!  This has been a long time coming!  The formation of the Two Bridges Regional Jail Honor Guard was approved in July of 2009, with selection of the initial seven volunteer team members beginning in early August, after 4 years of intense planning and organization.  Since that time, the team has had a presence at many parades and events in the surrounding area.  In the future, I plan on making our “Full Honors” memorial/funeral services available to ALL law enforcement agencies located in Lincoln & Sagadahoc Counties in the unfortunate occasion such services are required.  Many of these agencies are too small to effectively carry out such services utilizing their own resources.  Our facility’s much larger staffing level makes us a much more effective avenue to supply these services.  For the time being, I can offer my aide, and that of my fellow team members, to such agencies in staffing their own funeral services upon request."
