A formation of sailors salute as an American flag with 48 stars is raised over Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan, July 4. Retired Navy Cmdr. Joseph Agra III acquired the flag in 2000 after a fisherman retrieved it from the water off the coast of the Bataan penninsula in the Philippines. Agra has carried the flag to several locations and has flown it over camps in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.
