The formation of a rifle party consisting of an odd number of service members, between 3 to 7, fired a 3-volley salute.
Taps was performed by a lone bugler, at a distance 30 to 50 yards from the grave site while a “Final Salute” was given.
The flag of the United States was prepared for presentation by being folded by the honor guards and then presented to the Emily by saying,
“ | As a representative of the United States Army, it is my high privilege to present you this flag. Let it be a symbol of the grateful appreciation this nation feels for the distinguished service rendered to our country and our flag by your loved one. | ” |
