Eight Fremont area active and retired nurses were inducted into the Nebraska Nurse Honor Guard on Tuesday night during a service at First Lutheran Church in Fremont.
At the service, the new Honor Guard members, attired in white uniforms, received their blue nursing capes and white nurses’ caps that will be worn when conducting a tribute service.
The Nurse Honor Guard provides a tribute service for an active or retired nurse at their passing at the request of their family. The five-minute service honors the legacy of the nurse and the difference they made in the lives of others. The service can be conducted at the visitation or graveside or at the invitation of the presiding clergy at the funeral or memorial service.
The Fremont Area Nebraska Nurse Honor Guard serves an area within about a 30-mile radius of Fremont.
A tribute service can be requested through the funeral director, officiant, the Nebraska Nurse Honor Guard website, or by contacting an area leader, Jan Ostransky of Fremont or Carol Bohling of North Bend.
