Honoring the Flag of the United States of America is a
cherished tradition practiced by our military and Veterans. The VFW Post 9365
Honor Guard is proud to carry this tradition and comprises volunteer Veterans
associated with the Post. We can assist with formal requests for U.S.
Flag Presentations to school and community organizations, marching in parades,
or displaying the National Colors at various local Memorials, schools, and
community events. Please CONTACT US if
there are any requests. Public law, Title 10, United States Code, section 1491,
provides that all Veterans who served their country in military service under
honorable conditions are entitled to military funeral honors which are defined
as: "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." The Department of Defense and the Veteran's
Administration have authorized Veteran's organizations such as the VFW to
conduct military funeral honors at a Veteran's funeral services. . As part of Military Funeral Honors, U.S. Veterans can
