The VFW Honor Guard provides military honors at all veteran funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life, as requested by the families. The ceremony exemplifies the "ceremonial paying of respect and the final demonstration of the country’s gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our nation” and includes a three rifle volley, the sounding of Taps, and the ceremonial folding and presenting the nation’s flag with three expended rounds, signifying the deceased veterans sacrifice to Duty, Honor, and Country, to the family of the deceased.
