You know, when you attend a, a funeral at Arlington Cemetery, it's unlike anything that you'll, you'll ever experience.

There, there are two types of, of cem- of funeral services that take place there.

The most common one is, is called standard military honors, and that's available to any enlisted service member or any officer.And that consists of a six-man body barrier, uh, bearer detail, a firing party which fires a three-rifle volley, and that's sometimes confused with a 21-gun salute, which it's not.

Then Joshua called the 12 men from the people of Israel with who, whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe.

And Joshua said to them, "Pass on before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, that this may be a sign among you.

When your children ask in time to come, 'What do these sto- what do those stones mean to you?' then you shall tell them that the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

When it passed over Jordan and the waters of Jordan were cut off.
