🇺🇸 TEACHING TUESDAY: What do “military funeral honors” actually mean?

Many Americans picture a full Honor Guard, r***e volley, color guard and multiple veterans standing graveside when they think of a military funeral.

But that isn’t always what a family receives.

For an eligible veteran, the government-provided military funeral detail generally includes at least two uniformed service members, the folding and presentation of the American flag, and the sounding of Taps.

The fuller ceremony many families recognize often depends on volunteer veteran Honor Guard members who step in to provide additional traditions, including r***e volleys, color guards, pallbearers and a larger ceremonial presence.

It's exactly why Operation Honor Guard exists.

Across the country, many of these volunteer Honor Guard members are getting older. Many purchase their own uniforms, equipment and fuel, and they continue showing up in the heat, cold, rain and snow because they believe one thing:

No veteran should take their final journey without the honor they earned.

Operation Honor Guard is working to equip these teams, recruit the next generation of volunteers and preserve these traditions for the families who will need them tomorrow.

This isn’t about making a funeral bigger.

It’s about making sure a veteran’s final salute never becomes a tradition America simply doesn’t have enough people left to perform.

🇺🇸 Stand Tall. Honor All.
