Military Honors Program

Florida Army National Guard Military Honors

Military Honors allows a grateful nation to pay tribute to veterans who, in time of war and peace, stood strong in defense of the United States of America. Military Honors is a free entitlement for all honorable discharged veterans.

The Florida Army National Guard Military Honors program was established in 2003. It has grown to a statewide program that provides military honors to more than 400 veterans per month across Florida.

Our program has five regional offices and support teams to serve our veterans and families seven days a week.

For more information about our program or to schedule Military Honors, please email ng.fl.flarng.list.j9-mil-funeral-honors@army.mil or call our office at (904) 823-0630.
