Memorial Log-Carry for fallen Airman

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-CHAPMAN TRAINING ANNEX, Texas—350 Special Warfare Training Squadron, or SWTS, organized a two and a half-mile memorial log carry for fallen airman, Lt. Col. William Schroeder at the Special Warfare Training Wing, or SWTW, located on Joint Base San Antonio-Chapman Training Annex, or JBSA-CTA, Apr. 8, 2021. The memorial log created for Schroeder, along with three 600-pound each workout worms, were all carried on a path that navigated through past areas of the former 342 Training Squadron Schroeder commanded. Service members swapped places to carry the logs and then assembled around the SWTW flagpole and the Circle of Honor to perform a memorial push-up ceremony. A tradition amongst the special warfare community to honor fallen members. On April 8, 2016, Maj. William “Bill” Schroeder, 342 Training Squadron, commander, who was a special operations weather officer, was killed on JBSA-Medina Annex in what became a murder-suicide. An Airman facing a disciplinary hearing arrived at the office and began shooting. Schroeder’s reaction is credited with saving the life of his First Sergeant, and potentially many others.
