Honor Guard

Tinker Honor Guard's main mission is to provide military funeral honors within 38k sq miles covering 43 counties in OK. We are the Tinker AFB Honor Guard. Our mission is to provide honors for Active, Retiree, and Veteran service members during many ceremonious occasions. We can be seen at Promotions, Retirements, and funerals for those who are or have served in the United States Military. These services range from the presentation of flag folding, pallbearing, colors, firing party, and the playing of the bugle.
