Team BLAZE Airmen and civilians render their respect to fallen warriors while the U.S. flag is lowered during the Memorial Day Retreat Ceremony May 26 at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. On Memorial Day the flag is displayed at half-staff until noon and at full staff from noon to sunset. This unique custom honors the war dead for the morning, and living veterans for the rest of the day. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Kaleb Snay)
