Why do they put 3 empty bullet shells into a folded flag at a military funural?

I went to a funeral for a soldier that died in afganstain and they put 3 shells into the flag they gave to the mother of the guy. They said as they put each one in duty, honor, and country.

Why do they put 3 empty bullet shells into a folded flag at a military funural?
