The Dayton National Cemetery Honor Squad is a group of men and women who volunteer their time to give veterans full military funerals. In part, the Honor Squad provides rifle salutes and other necessary duties in ensuring our military heroes are honored. The Honor Squad assists the Department of Defense’s (DOD) military funeral detail by providing the rifle salute. Together with the DOD’s two uniformed military personnel from the veteran’s branch of service that fold and present the U.S. burial flag and play Taps, the Honor Squad ensures that full military funeral honors are provided to eligible military veterans at the Dayton National Cemetery. The honor Squad receives no government funding and relies on donations and volunteers to complete their mission.
