The IMMHG Color Guard cannot participate in a Memorial Service for a loved one, A Color Guard is not equipped with the same weapons as required for a Memorial Service.  If you want a Memorial Service for your loved one click here.

Our primary mission is to render Military Funeral Honors for our fallen Veterans but can fill requests for Color Guard services on an as available basis. As a Color Guard we will present and post the colors for your organization.  We are also available to retire the colors and present a narrated ceremonial 13 folds of the U.S. Flag.  Many groups find this very interesting and a patriotic way to conclude their meeting.

It is your responsibility and it is very important to let the venue know in advance that we will be bringing two unloaded ceremonial M1 Garand rifles into the venue for our ceremony. Adequate parking as near to the venue as possible must be provided.

Present and Post the Colors

A color guard ceremony will include a Commander, two flag bearers, and two riflemen.  We will march in with the venue provided colors and present them to the audience.  We will then request that all join in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the Posting of the Colors after which we march from the room.  We request a minimum of a $100.00 donation and adequate parking for this presentation, payable prior to or at the event.

A color guard retirement ceremony will include a Commander, two flag bearers, and two riflemen.  We will march into the venue and retrieve the colors and march out.  We request a minimum of a $100.00 donation and adequate parking for this presentation, payable prior to or at the event.

13 Folds

This is a unique ceremony that provides an historic presentation of the background and reasons for each fold of our nation’s symbol of freedom.  This usually will include a Commander, two flag bearers, and two riflemen.  We will march in carrying a folded U.S. Flag.  After an introduction by the Commander, the two flag bearers will unfold and display the flag then refold it into a triangle fold.  At each step of the refolding the Commander will state the meaning attributed to that specific fold.  After the folding is complete we will march out of the venue.  We request a minimum of a $150.00 donation and adequate parking for this presentation, payable prior to or at the event.
