How to use this template
- Verify rank, branch, and decorations exactly — fellow veterans will notice, and accuracy is itself a form of honor.
- Contact the funeral home about military honors; verifying eligibility (DD-214) takes time, so start early.
- It is fine to give the civilian life equal weight — most veterans' proudest years came after.
