Is it appropriate for a former reservist to have a honor guard at their funeral?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You haven’t given many details to go on here. I would say that the presumption is toward the appropriateness of the honor guard unless you care to provide details that suggest that should not be so. Many reservists are retired from former service, and as far as I know all veterans are entitled to an honor guard if the family requests it.
