31st OSS Conducts Retreat

From left, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Blue Rinato, 31st Operations Support Squadron air traffic control tower journeyman, and Airman 1st Class Ava Harris, 31st OSS aircrew flight equipment journeyman, fold the U.S. flag after retreat at Aviano Air Base, Italy, March 27, 2025. While the origins of the tradition remain unknown, the 13 folds of the U.S. flag represents the 13 original colonies and each specific fold has its own symbolic meaning.
