    Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. David Vozka holds onto a pole while showing how high the earth moved in wave-like motions during the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964 outside the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division’s headquarters building March 27, 2014 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The current pole is in the same location as the one he held onto 50 years ago when the earthquake hit Fort Richardson. The building used to be the Fort Richardson Officers’ Club. At the time Vozka was playing pool with a comrade in the building’s basement when the trembles began. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Smith/Released)
