I've posted this before and comments/messages come close to death threats. It's insane how emotional people can get while simultaneously being blind to standards. Here we go again.
👉There are multiple color guards behind the casket. Not a problem. More than one color guard is common at first responder funerals (departments bring their own colors) and massing of the colors ceremonies where dozens upon dozens of teams show up.
❌We should never drape a flag on a body. The Flag Code specifically states to not put the flag into a situation where it can be easily soiled. A dead body is not the cleanest environment.
❌An interment flag can be placed on a closed casket, folded in waves on a half open casket, or folded into a triangle and placed near the head just inside the lid of the casket. That's it.
❌K9s and MWDs are considered a member of the agency or service. They receive similar honors.
👉It's terrible to lose a pet dog, we have buried many. It must be worse to bury the dog that protects you and others.
