Paying tribute were SSG Terence Dickinson, SSG Jose Lopez, SGT Caleb Eddington, SFC Kyle Norton, SGT Michael Perry, SGT Jacob Rizkallah and SGT Eric Henry. Following the ceremonial folding of the flag, it was passed to BG Lawrence Schloegl of the Michigan National Guard who then placed it in the hands of LTC Kettles family.
