Then while Taps was being played there was a 21 gun salute from a funeral that was in progress.


21 rifle volley or 21 gun (artillery)?

Been awhile since I was at a gun service. Pretty loud, but awesome.

Artillery would normally only be at a funeral for a high-ranking official.
LTG Hal Moore's funeral at Benning several years ago, for instance, had an artillery battery brought in across the street from the cemetery.
