Jeff Schlageter pay tribute to the flag during a retreat ceremony held here during the November unit training assembly. All three Airmen are fire protection specialists with the 434th Civil Engineer Squadron. Retreat ceremonies are held each day at Grissom and serve a two-fold purpose. They signal the end of the official duty-day and serve as a ceremony for paying respect to the flag. Grissom is home to the Air Force Reserve's 434th Air Refueling Wing, a unit equipped with KC-135R Stratotankers. Stay connected with the 434th ARW on Facebook and Twitter.
