    A military funeral ceremony is taking place outdoors, with uniformed U.S. Navy personnel serving as pallbearers carrying a flag-draped casket. The casket is covered with the American flag, indicating a full military honors burial. The setting appears to be a military cemetery or formal burial ground with manicured green lawns and trees in the background.

    NORMANDY, France (June 19, 2018) The U.S. Naval Hospital Naples honor guard carries the remains of Radioman 2nd Class Julius “Henry” Pieper during his funeral service at Normandy American Cemetery. Henry Pieper and his twin brother, Radioman 2nd Class Ludwig “Louie” Pieper, were both killed when their ship, Landing Ship Tank (LST) 523, struck an underwater mine off the coast of France on June 19, 1944. Louie’s remains were found immediately, but Henry’s remains weren’t identified until December 2017. The family requested that Henry be buried in Normandy next to his brother.
