    A formation of U.S. Army soldiers with III Corps and Fort Hood lower the American flag during the Retreat ceremony March 27, 2014. Retreat is conducted at the end of the day, every day, to honor the flag, which is raised during the Reveille ceremony each morning. All traffic and activity on the base stops for the duration of both ceremonies, as soldiers pause, face the flag, and salute. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Ken Scar, 7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment)
