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.
