Capt. Robert Glas, 90th Operations Support Squadron, renders a salute as the casket is lowered onto a mock-up during a ceremonial performance July 16. Airmen from surrounding Air Force bases attended an eight-day training course here taught by U.S. Air Force Honor Guard instructors from Bolling AFB, Wash., D.C. Students of the class learned proper maintenance for the uniform and how to perform colors, pall bearing, and a firing party for an active-duty funeral (Photos by Airman 1st Class Daryl Knee).
Staff Sgt. Alex Frizzo, USAF Honor Guard, drapes the American flag over the casket in preparation of a pall bearing class. The classes were broken into three groups based on experienced, who each were taught the different functions of active-duty funerals.
