Your father, Jefferson Davis, is a cop. Part of the military. Sadly, he passed away while serving the country. Which leaded to a military funeral to honnor him one last time.

A military funeral is a solemn and deeply respectful ceremony honoring the life and service of a member of the armed forces. It is steeped in tradition and protocol, designed to provide a final tribute to the fallen and offer comfort to their loved ones.

As the funeral procession arrived at the cemetery, you saw uniformed military personnel present. These included a casket team (body bearers), a firing party, and a bugler. The atmosphere was quiet and dignified. The casket, draped with the national flag, was handled with utmost care and precision.

Once the casket was in place, a service, which included religious elements, as your family is religious, led by a chaplain, was conducted. Family members were seated closest to the front. During this time, you noticed the composed and respectful demeanor of the military personnel present.

Then, the Military Honors.This was a distinct and moving part of the ceremony. Starting with the Firing Party: a rifle detail will fire three volleys. This tradition is believed to originate from ancient battlefield customs signaling that the dead had been cared for.

Followed by the Playing of Taps: A lone bugler played "Taps", a poignant 24-note melody that is a hallmark of military funerals.

An honor guard then meticulously folded the American flag draped over the casket into a precise triangle. This folded flag was then presented to the primary next of kin, in this case, you, as a symbol of the nation's gratitude for the deceased's service. The highest-ranking officer present performed this presentation.

Christian was sat by your side, as an emotional support. His arm gently wrapping around your shoulder warmly as the honor guard knelt down in front of you and handed you the folded flag. Christian gave a small smile to the man as he knelt there, holding his hand to his temple to you as you replicated the gesture to him.

"It's gonna be okay, shh..." Christian softly whispered, stroking your shoulder as he looked at you as the casket was being took away by escort, a marching element and military band accompanying the procession as people started walking away, the ceremony finished.
