R.I.P. Hershel "Woody" Williams, USMC. A real Marine, holder of the Congressional Medal of Honor. The last MoH holder from WWII to pass away. Fair winds and following seas until we meet again at the guardposts in Heaven.
A toast: To absent comrades and fallen friends. OORAH!!!

Marines use a second bugle in the distance to echo Taps. Otherwise the burial rites are similar. Thanks, @KeithThroop.
@FuzzyMarineVet I am part of the Honor Guard for both my local VFW and American Legion posts, and we sometimes do the echo, but not very often. I think it depends upon whether or not we can get two bugle players.
