Then there is the oversight of the WWI veterans, for those VERY few still around. I caught a news story on it and they pointed out how we forget to remember them and how there is a void of US history between the Civil War and WWII.
Great Britain has made arrangements to honor the passing of the very last WWI veteran with a national funeral and service. There are no such plans for US veterans.
When my grandfather (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) passed away I was greatly disappointed by the timid display of his color guard and timid 3 gun salute (his service earned him a 3 gun, not 7 gun). Anyway, those executing the service and flag handling were of mixed services, and all seemed right out of basic (or maybe in an ROTC program of some sort). They were slouched over and timid.
There was no bugle player. What they did was a person held up what was a speaker system shaped like a bugle and when they pressed it to their lips Taps played out of the speaker. Had I known they were going to do that I would have personally done it myself (being I am a very good trumpet player), and it would have resonated across the hills, and not dripped into the ground.
We are a nation of the hear and now.
