Hello, I am trying to get information on a military honor funeral. My father is very near death and has always expressed his desire to have a military funeral. He is very proud of his service in the Korean war and says that he is entitled to three shots fired taps and a flag folding ceremony. Who do I need to contact to make this happen for him. Thank you for your help. My phone # is 954 450-9441
