Retired Army Sgt. Maj. Bill Neuiszer takes a break after servicing a funeral service at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on Monday, Oct. 3, 2022. He is one of the miliatary veterans who volunteer one day a week with the Memorial Services Detachment unit that provides full military burial honors at the cemetery.Each week the men and women of the Memorial Services Detachment pay tribute to veterans laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
“It’s what a veteran is supposed to have at a minimum,” Neuiszer said. “Whatever needs to be done to accomplish the mission, that’s what we do.” The squad leader spoke about a concerning issue: how age is thinning their ranks of Vietnam-era veterans. In recent years, the squad has performed three-volley salutes for its own. They provided the honors for Navy veteran Tom Ballinger, a member who died last year. A few years ago, they rendered the long-honored custom for Neuiszer’s friend Mike Malloy, a member of VFW Post 8541 and Chapter XV Special Forces Association.
