Military Honors Explained

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 07:44 AM

by Wisconsin VFW News

Veterans and their families frequently have questions about honors practices and traditions at funerals.

The haunting notes of taps and the reverent folding of the U.S. Flag are well-known tributes that are part of military funerals.

Gannett News Service has compiled a unique and informative multi-media presentation in conjunction with the Honor Guard of Arlington National Cemetary which explains the history and traditions of these and other Final Honors.
