Re-posting this link I received last year in an email from ExTexasRedhead:
Heartbreaking: those who dress fallen warriors for eternity
I have had occasion to join in more than a few military funerals, at Arlington and elsewhere, and I can testify that the Troops who provide this support - this Ministry - from the time our Fallen arrive from the war zone until the end of their funeral services - are outstanding Soldiers and exemplars of all that is good in our Military and our Beloved Nation.
At Arlington, the Old Guard, in addition to guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns and taking part in funerals of their fellow soldiers - and family members - in the Army, also provide the caisson support for all senior officers of all branches of our Military. My Father, as a Senior Officer in the Navy, had the horse-drawn caisson with the Old Guard, a Navy Band, Pallbearers and firing squad. The Navy Chaplain present presented me the Flag that draped his coffin with consummate dignity and rendered a hand salute.
Also present were two "Ladies of Arlington." They are a group of patriotic ladies who staff every funeral at Arlington National Cemetery to prevent any of our Fallen Bothers or Sisters being laid to rest without someone present to acknowledge their service and sacrifice.
I could discourse at great length about the reverent service provided by the Troops and civilians - many of whom are military family - to our Fallen.
God Bless Them, God Bless Them All, God Bless Them Good!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thanks very much, Kathy!
***HUGS***
Coming aboard as we speak. Rendering Hand Salutes to our National Colors and to the Officer of the Deck!
I feel the presence this evening of men I have known, and with whom I have served. They, like so many others in the history of our Nation, gave all in defense of our Freedom. Their sacrifice stands as a beacon and example for those of us who remain - the battle continues and we must soldier on!
