Zc431. 0ne of four images of my walk from Battery Cheney down to Bottomside on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, I found the 50 Star U.S. flag still flying at the PIR 503d First Flag marker, I turned it in, it was still clean and not damaged. There were only two flags flying this day on Corregidor, the Philippine Flag in front of the CFI Admin Building at Bottomside and the U. S. Flag at the First Flag of Liberation of the 16th Feb. 1945. On my two day visit all the other flags were not hoisted, like at the Pacific War Memorial.
