The 21-Gun salute is often confused with the act of firing 3 volleys at military funerals, but these two acts are different. Today the national salute of 21 guns (Cannons) is fired in honor of a national flag, the sovereign or chief of state of a foreign nation, a member of a reigning royal family, and the president, ex-president, and president elect of the United States of America. The Custom of the Three Volley Rifle Salute The Ceremonial Salute rendered by a military firing party is one that is as old as the profession of arms. Traditionally, a firing party was used to indicate to an opposing force that the duty of burying the dead was complete and that battle was ready to commence again. Today, the tradition of three volleys, though obscured by time, continues to be used as a final farewell to a soldier who served this country with pride and honor.
