2012  HONOR GUARD TRAINING COURSES

The  Elmhurst Honor Guard Academy would like to announce that their 2012 honor guard training schedule is now available.   We also will be hosting the 2012 Honor Guard Convention in Las Vegas, NV.

Since 2006 our academy has been instructing law enforcement and fire service personnel in parade and funeral procedures. Participation in our classes is limited and most often fill up quickly. If you are interested in learning more about our training course or attending the 2012 convention, please check out our website at www.honorguardtraining.org for more details. You may also call (630) 530-3090 with any questions. If you are interested in hosting an honor guard class at your department or agency, email us at mail@honorguardtraining.org for details.
