Report of Activities with the United States Volunteers
The
United States Volunteers/America is a nation-wide veterans’ service
organization, which traces its lineage back to Teddy Roosevelt’s “Rough
Riders”. Its primary mission is providing final military honors to deceased
veterans. These honors include the folding of the off the casket, its
presentation to the family and or friends of the deceased, a firing detail and
the playing of “Taps”
As of
January 17, 2015, I am a chaplain with the rank of captain in the USV/A. I have
observed one grave-side service for an army vet and served as chaplain in a
service for a navy veteran. Soon I will doing a service for a marine colonel.
Look across our national cemeteries and you might see me in my dress blues.
