Today the fife and drum participated in memorial services at Fort Douglas. We marched to the cemetery near the fort to the music of a Civil War funeral duty, followed by a riderless horse and the flag-draped casket. Pictured below is the ceremonial flag-draped casket and rifled upturned to pay honor and tribute to the fallen dead.
The keynote speaker for the ceremony was Amanda Dixon from KSL radio. She spake of patriotism and mentioned some details of her father's service. From Amanda: "I'm not a great American; I'm a grateful American". May we all be more grateful for our country.
