A class of new members of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Honor Guard were honored during their graduation ceremony on April 25. Thirty-nine Airmen from units across the base underwent more than 50 hours of training to become proficient in the customs and courtesies they will need during their six-month tour with the guard.

George Merusi, a new member of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Honor Guard, demonstrates the playing of taps as part of a military funeral during the honor guard’s graduation ceremony on April 25. The bugle holds a hidden speaker that plays the music so that Airmen on six-month temporary duty do not need to learn how to play a musical instrument. U.S. AIR FORCE PHOTO/R.J. ORIEZ
