Honor Guard for Off-Base Events

For all public events, send an official request to the Keesler Public Affairs Office at fax (228) 377-3940. Public affairs will respond for more information, if needed. If approved, Public Affairs will direct you to coordinate directly with the Keesler Honor Guard.

Guidelines For Off-Base Event Requests

• Provide at least 30 days notice.
• Please remember that the honor guard's primary function is to support funerals. Your request could be cancelled due to a sudden change in mission requirements.
• Requests are balanced against several factors - does it support the Air Force, does it project the proper image, is it open to the public, how many people will attend.

Special Events and Retirement Ceremonies

When not performing funeral honors, the Keesler Honor Guard Team is available to post colors or perform the flag folding ceremony for most special events and retirements on base. The flag folding ceremony can only be performed using the approved Air Force script. Your request should include the name, date and time of the event, point of contact, telephone numbers and the service you would like provided. If you have any questions, please call (228) 377-1986.
