The Honor Guard is precisely folding the American flag during a funeral service at a National Cemetery. Each fold of the flag has meaning and only the stars will be visible before the flag is given to the family of the deceased.
With friends and family present, the young servicemen stay focused during the honorable task set before them. The only sound is a slight tap of their heels as the ceremony is performed with discipline.
