Memorial Day
"As a representative of the United States Army, it is my high privilege to present you this flag. Let it be a symbol of the grateful appreciation this nation feels for the distinguished service rendered to our country and our flag by your loved one."
I have heard this more times than I'd like. I've performed military honors when I was active duty for retired or discharged vets. I can't imagine doing it for a fallen, active duty, soldier. Taps alone still kills me.
