i think is because of the height requirements that there is not a lot of women in the funeral Honor Guard.

I was in Washington on unrelated business during all of the ceremonies, and I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the procession. It was amazing how still the guard along the sides of the road stood for so long.

Wasn't as impressed with the cadets from Annapolis, CG Academy, and West Point, they kept pulling out of formation due to heat exhaustion. They'll get better, I suppose.
