MISSION STATEMENT

Last Salute’s mission is to conduct highly professional and profound military funeral honors ceremonies for military members and veterans commensurate with their service to our great nation.

SUMMARY & HISTORY

Last Salute military funeral honor guard is an all veteran all volunteer 501C3 veterans services organization established to provide a grander more ceremonial final tribute honoring the nobility and commitment of military service. These services are dignified, professional and performed to a standard which families expect and service members deserve.

Last Salute ceremonies include “dignified transfer” of remains by military transport to the final resting place, an artillery salute of a single volley fired from a Civil War cannon, the tolling of a large memorial bell three times, a three volley rifle salute, the rendering of Taps, the folding and presentation of a memorial flag.

In addition, each ceremony includes the ritual of memorializing the fallen by entering their prayer card or image into Last Salute’s Memorial Prayer Box. A family member places their loved one inside the box thereby making them a permanent member of the honor guard, traveling with us everywhere we go and overwatching everything we do.

Last Salute’s elaborate ceremonies and professionalism have resulted in many requests by military units for Last Salute to conduct services including services on military installations.

Last Salute is honored by the support of many Medal of Honor recipients who have fired Last Salute’s cannons, held and honored the Memorial Prayer Box and signed the interiors of Last Salute’s military vehicles to unite in honoring the fallen. Last Salute was the only veterans organization included in rendering honors with the United States Marine Corps for the last World War II Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel “Woody” Williams.

Last Salue’s cannons have been fired to honor the fallen by Medal of Honor recipients, Congressmen, Senators, Mayors, Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, many military officers and commanders and the Attorney General of The United States.

Last Salute does not charge for its services and relies solely upon donations to continue its important mission of honoring the fallen, comforting the families and perpetuating the values of military service to society.
