Flag return
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan (AFPN) -- Reiko Motegi shows Col. Don Weckhorst photos of her late husband, Mototeru Motegi, who served in the Japanese military during World War II. Weckhorst presented a Japanese flag to Motegi and her daughter, Yoshimi Morita. The flag was carried into battle by Motegi's husband and it disappeared nearly 60 years ago. A collector gave the flag to Weckhorst's father in an attempt to return it to the soldier's family. Weckworst is the commander of the 605th Air Operations Group here.
