color guard are the people who carry the American flag and the Ok. flag(those are the people in the middle) then on the outside are the two people who carry the guns. they present the "colors" (i.e. anywhere we are asked to do it at)

That is NOT a stupid question. I wouldn't have known either except for the fact that you asked. Speaking of that, what is honor guard?

Honor Guard is something that makes this squadron that much more special. We are currently the only squadron in the nation authorized to reenact The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown, which occurs at Arlington Cemetery. This reenactment is the Honor Guard that you hear so much about. This is a privilege that a select few of us do each year. Last year there were only seven or eight guards that participated. We train two to three times a week working on the ceremony so dedication is extremely important. This year we are looking to make everything that much better than before, we have already started making preparations for the training and the ceremony. If there any questions that you have you can go to the Honor Guard section of the forum or you can PM me. Hope this helps.

What about BA? They aren't part of our unit any more.
Just to clarify: Any CAP unit can have an Honor Guard. We are the only unit of any kind other than the 3rd Infantry that is authorized to stand watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This duty is reserved for the elite cadets that pack the gear to qualify. EVERYONE should strive to earn the privelege of walking the guard.
