Adjutant Norman Gillen (U.S. Navy) opened the meeting by welcoming all the Veterans attending. As a member of the Tri-County Honor Guard, Norman reminded folks that all Veterans, by law, are entitled to burial rights, a marker, and a place in any Veterans' cemetery. The goal of the Honor Guard is not only to honor the Veteran who passed but to also honor and comfort the family. Veterans are buried with full military honors, three rifle volleys, and the playing of Taps. The flag that had been draped across the coffin is then folded and presented to the next of kin.
