HONOR GUARD
Meeting 4th Tuesday 1:30 PM
Military Honors for Deceased Veterans |
All honorably discharged veterans are entitled to full Military Honors at burial. The Department of Defense can not always provide personnel for this purpose. With a request by the family, coordinated with the funeral director, Post 9 will render to the deceased the honors they deserve. Three volleys by the firing squad, the sounding of taps, the folding of the American Flag and presentation to the next of kin. Prior to burial the Post can also guard the casket at viewing if requested.
***Donations to the Honor Guard are appreciated ***.
