Funeral Detail Members attend and participate in services for a departed
Legionnaire.
Our Legionnaire members are priviledged to offer
a final act of respect to our departed comrades. In
order to have a service conducted, the famiy of a departed
Legionnaire can request the service from the American Legion
Post.
The service begins as the Funeral Detail Members assemble.
Two detail members read the service as prescribed by the American
Legion. Other members stand shoulder to shoulder to honor
the departed Legionnaire. The beautiful message offers comfort to
the family while celebrating the life and sacrifice of the soldier
who has passed. The service concludes as taps is played and
a final salute is delivered to our brother or sister Legionnaire
and the detail fies out.
The service takes only a few minutes
for detail members, but constitutes a priceless memory for a
grieving family. We are reminded that faithful service to our
country should never be forgotten. Additional Post 348 members
are always sought to participate in this important activity.
Often,
there is little notice that a service has been promised to a family,
so we are always actively seeking individuals who can be called upon
in a time of need.
