An attention-grabbing introduction
nor long remember what we say

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --
The Honor Guard
Render military honors, at the final roll call, to ‘Those Who Served’
Military honors consist of three rifle volleys by seven riflemen, followed by "Taps"
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion
The Color Guard
Posting the flag and rendering proper customs and courtesies in reverence to those who have served it
The Color Guard is flanked by two rifle-bearers. A salute is rendered by holding the National Ensign high.
.
to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --
A wreath is placed in memory of a fallen husband and father Signifying the cost of freedom and both the beauty and the brevity of life, and evoke memories of other days.
We must never forget
.
We here highly resolve that these deadshall not have died in vain
![P1010025.jpg P1010025.jpg](/files/P1010025.jpg)
and that government of the people, by the people,
for the peopleshall not perish from the earth.
