Description
Marines, sailors, airmen and soldiers salute as a Marine color guard raises a large American flag into the Afghan sky at the American occupied Kandahar International Airport December 17, 2001. The flag bears signatures of rescue workers and friends and family of victims of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and on the USS Cole. Seventeen of the flag's stars were dedicated to the 17 U.S. sailors who died when the Cole was bombed last year. The flag is from Ground Zero in NY.
