00:08.240 --> 00:10.462
but we're doing on our guard training .

00:10.462 --> 00:12.407
Military funeral honors definitely

00:12.407 --> 00:15.210
volunteered for it . I like the idea of

00:15.210 --> 00:17.550
being able to do more for the Guard ,

00:18.090 --> 00:20.670
then just the normal drills and annual

00:20.670 --> 00:23.650
training . I think it will be rewarding

00:24.080 --> 00:27.290
the honor guard . I went to one when

00:27.540 --> 00:29.651
before even joined the guard . I went

00:29.651 --> 00:31.900
to my great grandpa's funeral and it

00:31.900 --> 00:34.340
was just so emotional and powerful .

00:34.340 --> 00:37.710
And I loved watching every single thing

00:37.820 --> 00:39.950
that the honor guard did . And ever

00:39.950 --> 00:42.530
since then I knew I wanted to do this .

00:42.730 --> 00:44.897
I think it's a beautiful thing because

00:44.897 --> 00:46.841
a lot of the families , especially

00:46.841 --> 00:48.952
extended families , don't realize how

00:48.952 --> 00:50.952
much the military impacts lives and

00:50.952 --> 00:53.170
having that final service and being

00:53.170 --> 00:56.380
able to honor that soldier It it means

00:56.380 --> 00:59.140
a lot to the close family , and it puts

00:59.140 --> 01:01.460
in perspective what that soldier did

01:01.470 --> 01:03.400
for his country . I'm planning on

01:03.400 --> 01:05.456
retiring in the guard I've got seven

01:05.456 --> 01:07.910
years in now , so gotta go strong for

01:07.910 --> 01:09.050
that 20 . At least
