Description
This is a beautiful, unique item to own or give as a tribute or memorial to family members and/or friends of any veteran, service person, or first responder. The explanation at the bottom provides more detail.This set of 30-06 cartridge lanyards are ready to use as a display by itself or with other items such as a flag.The cartridges are nickel plated with actual 30 calibre bullets (no primers or powder) and are not ammunition. Red, white, and blue paracord allows the lanyards to be kept in the display box, or hung on other displays.Explanation: A standard part of a military funeral is the ceremonial shooting of three volleys in honor of the deceased. The three spent shell casings are presented to the next of kin. Typically the fired cartridges are placed into the folded flag prior to presentation, or presented separately to the next of kin. The cartridges signify "duty, honor, and sacrifice." Anyone who is entitled to a military funeral (generally anyone who dies on active duty, honorably discharged veterans, and military retirees) are entitled to the three rifle volleys.
