Teaching Tuesday 🇺🇸

Today we’re highlighting the Three-Volley Salute — one of the most solemn and meaningful traditions in a military funeral.
The tradition dates back to old battlefield customs, when fighting would pause so the dead and wounded could be recovered. Three r***e volleys signaled that the fallen had been cared for and the battle could resume.

Today, the Three-Volley Salute serves as a final tribute to a veteran’s service, sacrifice, and life. It is a powerful act of respect for the fallen and a meaningful moment for the families left behind.
It is also often confused with a 21-gun salute, but the two are not the same.

The Three-Volley Salute is the ceremony most commonly performed by a funeral Honor Guard for veterans.
At Operation Honor Guard, we believe these traditions matter — because every veteran deserves to be honored with dignity.

Stand Tall. Honor All.
