A day of saying goodbye
Airman 1st Class Patrick Richards, U.S. Air Force Mile High Honor Guard member, stands by for practice before a funeral August 30, 2016, at Fort Logan National Cemetery, Colo. The Honor Guard members are example of individuals who are highly motivated, maintain exceptionally high standards of conduct, both on and off-duty, and exude enormous amounts of pride in all they do.
