Military funeral honors uncertain in Lancaster area
World War II veteran Thomas W. Lainhoff wished a military honor guard at his June funeral, but only a bugle-playing firefighter and two reenactors could perform. Grandchildren formed the guard, while Red Rose Veterans Honor Guard aims to provide two guards and a bugler for each funeral. Defense officials plan a conference on the issue as Congress weighs a lighting bill to boost burials.
