    Fort Sill OK 1984 - Veterans Funeral Detail, I was in charge of. I presented the US Flag with 3 shell casings from the 21 gun salute to a family member. I was on that duty for a month during late summer, sure did a lot of them. We carry the casket, did the 21 one gun salute. I presented the flag and then the Army Band Trumpet Player member played taps. During taps, it always humbled you big time.

    Uniform out and ready, during the Funeral Detail time.
