Past and present heroes honor the fallen
Senior Airman Samuel Siewert, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Ernest Jenkins and Capt. Nicole Stenstad render salutes as the national anthem is played and the flag is lowered during a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action retreat ceremony on Joint Base Charleston, S.C., Sept. 17, 2010. The retreat commenced after the end of a 24-hour, joint-service run, which kept military service flags and the POW/MIA flag in constant motion. Colonel Jenkins, a former POW, was detained in Bath, Germany, during World War II after his B-17 was shot down. He was imprisoned for 17 months. Colonel Jenkins was a bombardier on the B-17 "Stardust," Airman Siewert is a driver operator with the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron and Capt. Stenstad is a C-17 pilot with the 14th Airlift Squadron.
