Why is the family given empty shells from 21 gun salute along with the flag?
The shell casings represent duty, honour, and country. They can either be displayed loose, or tucked into the folds of the flag (which in principle makes them non-retrievable, as a folded flag presented to Primary Next-Of-Kin should never be unfolded).
Supposedly, the squad leader picks up three casings from off of the ground, but we've never done it that way whenever I did funeral details - rather than picking up the spent blank rounds, the funeral detail would leave with a number of spent casings from live rounds, which would be polished with Brasso prior to presentation.
I am wondering the same thing. I have the same exact jar and can't find any info on it!
