An Honor Guard or Ceremonial Guard is a ceremonial escort composed of officers who are screened for their ability and dedication. Only those persons who are highly motivated and maintain exceptionally high standards of appearance and conduct and show aptitude for ceremonial duty are considered. The primary purpose of an Honor Guard is to provide funeral honors for fallen comrades.
Honor Guards may also serve as the "guardians of the colors". They present the colors for various ceremonies and official county, state, and national functions, which may include governmental funerals. Additionally, Honor Guards serve as ambassadors to the public, presenting a positive image of their service.
