Should the Army designate an honor guard tab for soldiers that perform military funeral honors on a regular basis as a special skill tab?

Me and a number of soldiers that I know perform military funeral honors through the 99th RSC of the Army Reserve. I myself have over 250 military funeral honors sense 2012. Even though the Honor Guard Tab is part of a unit patch, do you think that the Army should designate an honor guard tab for those soldiers that perform military funeral honors on a regular basis as a special skill tab?

Could be a good thing for all the branches to do. It would be quite an honor doing funeral honors.

Why not create a special pin that can be worn with the uniform? It would save the time and money that would have been spent sewing them onto uniforms.

Question who all wears the unit patch? Just those that perform military funerals or everyone in the unit? Because there really should be something that gives honor guard personnel recognition for the job they do. IMHO!

MSgt all soldiers in the Old Guard of the US Army are authorized to wear the blue Honor Guard Tab. They do not have to be performing military funeral honors to get authorization to wear it.

To add to this, there are Soldiers who preform Military Honors that are not in Honor Guard units.
