Learning to Honor the Fallen
The Fairfax County Police Department Honor Guard is hosting an internationally recognized training seminar for Honor Guard team members from around the nation and beyond. The three-day tutorial will start with two days of classroom lecture, and hands-on training sessions. These classes include flag folding, presentation of colors, a 21-gun salute, casket carrying and more.
