FLAG DRAPED COFFIN

Flag draped coffins on their final flight home

Families watch the transfer of remains with honor and care

Soldiers dressed in uniforms with their ribbons and medals on the chest

Military care shows the utmost respect

Families have time alone to say their last goodbye, holding pictures trying to be brave

They watch as their military brothers carry them to their grave.

Folded up flag, and "Taps" sounding on the horn

Families sit and listen and mourn

General salutes and we bow are heads and pray

He only had good things to say.

Your loved one is finally at rest, we want you to know he gave his best.

21 gun salute, a final tribute to your love one you lost

He paid the price, the ultimate cost

Folded up flag held close to your families heart.

Tears fall knowing he died a world apart

Family at peace this is what he wanted to do.
