Senior Airman Kyle McLaughlin, 7th Force Support Squadron honor guardsman, leads a ceremonial firing party during a standard honors funeral at Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene in Abilene, Texas, Aug. 10, 2020. Traditionally, the firing party fires three volleys. The three volleys historically represent the three shots fired from both sides that notified the completion of removing the deceased from the battlefield.
