Motto: There Is Honor In Service.


UNDER CONSTRUCTION-WORK IN PROGRESS.


The Maquis Forces International Honor Guard Project came about because of members desire to be of service to fandom and their communities. The MFI Honor Guard is now a Special Unit under the office of the Vice International Coordinator, as run by the Guard Coordinator and ably assisted by the Special Security Division, etc. This can take the form of being a visible sign of MFI at conventions and other public gatherings or for funerals, weddings, or other special occasions as requested. Their duties are divided into two camps. The first is the Flag Honor Guard, this member would participate in some type of flag ceremony wherein the Chapter, Zone, or MFI Flag(s) is(are) used. The second is the VIP Honor Escort or Security duty, this person would be the volunteer security for a VIP From MFI, one of her allies, or acting as security for an approved event. This is a work in progress as we get information on entry requirements and other details we will post accordingly. Please note information may change pretty regularly until construction is complete so check back often!
