Members of the 4th Fighter Wing Honor Guard perform a mock active-duty funeral at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base Wednesday. The ceremony represented the culmination of a 10-day training session hosted by officials from the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard. At right, Seymour airmen fold the America flag before giving it to the family of a "fallen hero" and lowering the casket. In the event of the death of an active-duty airman, the funeral would be exactly like Wednesday's exercise.
