Durward Swanson looks at the torn and tattered American Flag Nov. 24, 2011, that sits in the Pacific Air Forces Headquarters building at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Swanson was a U.S. Army Air Corps motorcycle patrolman at Hickam Field when the Japanese attacked the bases Dec. 7, 1941, on the Island of Oahu. Swanson and his best friend Albert Lloyd pulled the flag off the flag pole at around 9 p.m. that night. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Mike Meares)
