POW/MIA

We just completed a ceremony honoring the POW/ MIA and veterans - here on Christmas day. There are 27 of us prior service military here stationed at Pole. That's quite abit since the population is curerntly at 243. We flew both the POW and American flag until midnight on one of the construction cranes. This is the 4th year veterans have done this. Then in the summer some of us will take the flag to Washington DC and fly it by the Veterans memorial... Last year, John McCain signed the flag and it is currently flying at the memorial in DC.




Raising of the flags at 0800 Christmas. Lowering of flags at 0000 Dec 26.
