Honor Guardsmen from Barksdale Air Force Base perform a Three-volley salute during a funeral in Bossier City,
LA, July 17, 2015. The three-volley salute is a tradition which dates back to the European dynastic wars, where fighting ceased to collect the dead, and three shots were fired which signaled the battle could resume. (U.S. Air Force photo
