Every movement, every step, every fold of the flag is executed with purpose, to honor the service and sacrifice of those who came before. This Memorial Day, Sgt. Lorenzo Lopez, a team leader with the Iowa Army National Guard’s Military Funeral Honors Program, shares what it means to provide final honors with dignity, precision, and respect. The mission isn't about recognition. It’s about ensuring every veteran is remembered with the care and reverence they earned. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Spc. Armani Wilson)
