USAF Band performs semi-annual retreat ceremony

Members of the United States Air Force Band fold the flag March 18 during a retreat ceremony at the base flag pole. Due to the day light savings time change, retreat will be sounded daily at 5 p.m. The retreat ceremony signals the end of the official duty day and also serves as a ceremony for paying respect to the flag. Upon hearing the first note of retreat, military members in uniform should face the flag if visible or face the music if the flag is not visible and assume the position of parade rest. At the start of the National Anthem, military members in uniform should come to attention and salute until the anthem has ended. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Dan DeCook)
