My Grandfather and His M1 Garand

Do any of you know what the honor guard whispers to the families of the fallen? When they hand you the Folded Flag? I do. They say it with feeling and reverence. Its kind of jolting.

Yes they do

Just heard it on 11/7 at my dad's funeral. Very touching.

I missed it. When the flag was given to my mom, I didn't hear what he said. Those honor guards were awesome.
