What do they do for a World War II vet funeral, anything special?

Salute to your Uncle, with all due respect from a Vietnam vet. Your Uncle is entitled to an honor guard to accompany the flag draped coffin, a 21 gun salute fired by the honor guard (rifle, not cannon), Taps played & the flag folding and presentation ceremony to the next of kin/spouse. Three empty cartridges from the salute are placed in the folded flag to represent duty, honor, country. The honor guard is usually affiliated with the local VFW in the area and provides this service upon request.

I'm in a quandary, My father died in 1973 and was cremated. Where his ashes lie in the cemetery without a stone, marker, flag, nothing. I was 13 and his soul heir, but some how the final few of our relatives that showed up thought I should be seen and not heard. I don't want to get too into this because I feel you can help me. Bottom line is that as far as I know, of course it is through the eyes of a child, that being said he deserves recognition for his Army tour of duty overseas. 1943-45. I am not sure of anything since I haven't had contact with any of my family since. Dad or Mom's side. I have no money except to squeak out a mere existence, never have money to go to these sites that have the answers I need. It comes down to the all mighty dollar. Something I don't have. I have run into a wall and I still can't help my Father. Thanks. Sorry I loaded all that on you. Can someone reply? please

First off, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. When my grandfather died who was a WW2 Vet, my grandmother was given a flag and a 21 gun salute and that was all.

human beings rapidly exchange into bored in wars while they are over. My dad a international conflict 2 vet worked alongside a German vet. He did not care. He figured the German replaced into in basic terms like him attempting to make a residing. human beings positioned on Lot's of issues for various motives. I see human beings wearing jap "increasing solar" bandannas for all time and others wearing Che shirts. this is all area of being in a democracy.

They get a brass plaque for their grave and a flag. That's all my old man got.

I am sure they will SALUTE that great man as I do and all other PATRIOTS which I am. GOD BLESS HIM and YOU.
