8th Air Force retreat ceremony Aug. 10, 2011
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. – Airman 1st Class Joshua Freedman, 608th Air and Space Operations Center, stands at attention as members of the 2nd Bomb Wing Base Honor Guard prepare to fold the U.S. flag during a retreat ceremony Aug.10, 2011, at Barksdale Air Force Base, La. The Eighth Air Force Headquarters and 2nd Medical Group performed the retreat ceremony, which serves a twofold purpose. It signals the end of the official duty day and serves as a ceremony for paying respect to the flag. When persons not assigned to a formation are outdoors and in uniform, on the first note of retreat, they should face the flag (if visible) or music and assume the position of parade rest.
