We perform all military events at a military funeral regardless of rank or tenure of a deceased veteran. We feel that all deceased veterans are due the honor that we provide to the family of the deceased.
Our Honor Guard is not Post specific. We have members that are from other American Legion Posts.
We perform at Color Guard events that require the posting and presenting of the American flag and the Texas flag. Our Color Guard consists of two rifle men and two flags.
