In July, the Honor Guard assisted the Military Honors Teams at 7 Legion funerals. Honor Guard personnel also made appearances at 11 civic functions (8 Flag postings at the Pinewood Bowl’s presentation of “Newsies”, 2 Flag postings for Legion Baseball games and 1 Flag posting for a local convention). In calendar year 2022, the Honor Guard was asked to assist the Military Honor Teams at 91 combined funerals and appeared at 27 civic functions. Turnout has been excellent.
If you want military funeral honors conducted by your branch of service, you must produce a copy of your DD 214. Let your family know of your request and let them know where your paperwork is located. If you can’t find your DD214, you may request a copy by logging on to https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records and completing the form.
