Military Funeral Services:
Public law, Title 10, United States Code, section 1491, provides that all veterans who served country in military service under conditions not dishonorable are entitled to military funeral honors. The Department of Defense and the Veteran’s Administration have authorized veteran’s organizations such as the VFW, American Legion and Marine Corp League to conduct military
funeral honors at a veteran’s funeral services. VFW Post 3183 Honor Guard, along with American Legion Post 271, 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 3 expended rounds, signifying the deceased veterans sacrifice to Duty, Honor and Country, to the family of the deceased. The VFW Post 3183 Honor Guard volunteers are distinguished by their blue and white uniforms with yellow braids and yellow ascots. While we do not charge for these services, we do accept donations, the proceeds of which go to the support of our fellow veterans, family and the community. To request Honor Guard funeral services:
