i saw this and had to post it.
i spent over a year on honor guard and watching this makes me proud
wow. I was in civil air patrol as a youth. My whole fathers side of the family are officers in the AF. I was going to join, until cars got into me worse than heroin. Couldnt shake it, and here I am today 
Ugh… honor guard… Yikes… I don’t know if i could do it with all the funerals and shit. Pretty sad stuff
yeah its rough. the one of hardest ones i ever had to do was when the wife was completly quiet the whole funeral until we played taps and she lost it. she was crying so hard that when i went to present the flag to her, she fell on to her knees and just doubled over.
you cant think of it or else it will tear you apart
If there is one song that just makes me stop in my tracks no matter what I’m doing…
I remember running inside or getting off base ASAP to not have to stop for the Star spangled.
Taps though, I could be off base, inside and no matter what its hats off and almost brings a tear to my eye to hear it. Ugh its a rough one.
Dang.
I’ve never been able to grasp how the families of soldiers can do it.
