Members of the base honor guard fold the flag during a 9/11 retreat ceremony at the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in Southwest Asia, Sept. 11, 2013. The ceremony included a special session where fallen Grand Slam warriors were paid tribute for their ultimate sacrifice in the war on terrorism. The 379th AEW has been a constant in the U.S. Air Forces Central Command’s area of responsibility over the last nearly 12 years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
