n.
An honor guard is comprised of at least two persons, usually numbering five to seven persons, and can be larger. These individuals are usually uniformed, such uniforms relating to the particular group or organization they are providing services to. For example, a police honor guard would be comprised of uniformed police officers; a military honor guard would be comprised of armed forces members, members of an armed forces auxiliary organization, or other military-styled organization.
Further, honor guards represent the highest ideals of the country or culture they belong to. Most honor guards, therefore, in honor to their country of origin, carry their National flag and observe their country's flag code, as they pay their respects to the other values they hold. Nearly all military honor guards, by their nature, also include a National flag bearer and whatever else is required by said flag code. For example, the American flag code requires that the American flag be protected; thus, an additional member of the honor squad generally carries a rifle or saber (genuine or replica) in order to pay respects to this requirement.

A personality trait in which an individual is hyper-sensitive to perceived threats to his personal honor or repute. He is obsessed with accomplishing every effort in the perfect manner. He holds himself to a high personal standard and will not divert from it for any reason. He will do whatever it takes to satisfy his need to maintain a high level of social importance and adherence to his behavioral code. The mere suggestion of ill-repute or dishonor is the greatest insult one can give.
"That guy has such a case of Spanish Honor! He could have just shot him dead, right there, but instead accepted a sword-fight. So honorable, so stupid..."
