Marine Corps Body Bearers
Honoring Fallen Marines

October 19, 2010 -- The Marine Corps body bearers have one of the most unique duties in the Corps.

They belong to the group of 13 Marines who carry the caskets of fellow Marines through the streets of Arlington National Cemetery and surrounding National Capital region cemeteries, as the last salute to the fallen members of the 234-year-old brotherhood.
