Memorial Day ceremony honors fallen service members

Senior Airman Moanatafa Pouesi, Yokota Air Base honor guard, participates in a Retreat Ceremony as part of the 2023 Yokota Memorial Day Ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 26, 2023. Flag folding is a part of U.S. military funeral ceremonies and is also performed during Memorial Day ceremonies to pay respects to fallen service members. Honor Guard members fold the flag in a triangle pattern 13 times to represent the original 13 U.S. colonies, displaying only blue with white stars when completed.
