4. VFW Post 1170 Honor Guard Decision Brief Proposed Honor Guard Additional Post Space To better facilitate the HG access, storage and operational space issues coupled with forecasted future increasing demand trends the following three proposed options are recommended for serious Post Leadership consideration and approval: Option 1 - Consolidation of storage room A into B & C = See next slide # 6 for graphical representation of this Option. This option would create a separate post space for the Honor Guard and address all the operational and growth concerns as mentioned in the presentation. Optimal. Option 2 - Consolidation of storage room B below into A & C = See slide 7 for graphical representation.
