It has been around since the Revolutionary War when a gun or cannon was fired to call the soldiers back to camp, signifying the end of hostilities for the day. At this time, the wounded and dead soldiers were removed from the battle grounds and respect was paid to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their beliefs.

Airman's Creed
I am an American Airman.
I am a warrior.
I have answered my nation's call.
I am an American Airman.
My mission is to fly, fight and win.
I am faithful to a proud heritage,
A tradition of honor
And a legacy of valor.
I am an American Airman,
Guardian of freedom and justice,
My nation's sword and shield,
Its sentry and avenger.
I defend my country with my life.
I am an American Airman:
Wingman, leader, warrior.
I will never leave an Airman behind,
I will never falter,
And I will not fail.
