Afghanistan Embassy Flag

One of the items on display at the Alumni Center Art Exhibit. On 4/16/08, as part of the Day of Remembrance observance, the Holtzman Alumni Center Museum displayed examples of art, crafts, quilts, and other memorabilia contributed since April 16, 2007. This is one of over 60,000 items that will eventually go to Special Collections at Newman Library.

This flag was flown at half-staff from April 17, 2007 until sunset on April 27, 2007 at the American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. It was then sent to VT with a letter expressing sincere condolences. The letter was signed by Ambassador William B. Wood, Darrell H. Chapman, VT class of 1990, Kirk Ingvoldstad, father of Nicholas J. Ingvoldstad VT class of 2010, Karen Johnson, mother of Matthew D.J. Mitchell VT class of Dec. 1998, and Sara Rosenberry, VT Faculty member 1977-1988.

I thought this gentleman was just passing through, but I saw him circle the drillfield at least twice. War Memorial is in the background.
