The Veterans Totem Pole carver, Jon Rowan, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, participates in the traditional carvers dance during a raising ceremony in the city of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island, Aug. 18, 2018. Rowen brought Klawock elder Aaron Isaacs, a former Alaska Army Guardsman and U.S. Army 82nd Airborne paratrooper and current member of the Alaska State Defense Force, idea to life – working together to design the totem pole. The 37-foot totem is complete with service branches and Prisoners of War-Missing In Action insignias, a 1960s-era U.S. Army Soldier, ancient warrior holding a double-headed dagger, an eagle and raven at the top, and a set of identification tags that veterans can pin unit crests and insignia to in the bottom of the totem pole.
