A US Army Firing Party firing three volleys at Arlington National Cemetery as captured by the @arlingtonmedia team. A three round volley is the honor bestowed upon anyone that has served honorably in the US Armed Forces and is buried in the cemetery here at Arlington. This differs slightly from a 21 gun salute, but when conducted by a party of 7 riflemen, it does equal 21 rounds fired. These rounds are later collected and given to family members in honor of their loved ones.
