Cpl. Barry Powers, pulls down the American Flag at Lake Cemetary, Staten Island, to replace it with a new flag, May 25. Each year the Marines from Fleet Week New York help the town celebrate Memorial Day by changing their flag and place flags at the grave site of the troops buried here. There are fallen soldiers from battles dating back to the Civil War resting here. Powers is an infantryman squad leader, and Drexel Hill, Penn., native. He is part of the Special Marine Air Ground Task Force New York, embarked aboard USS Wasp during Fleet Week New York 2012. Fleet Week has been New York City's celebration of the sea services since 1984. It is an unparalleled opportunity for citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, firsthand, the latest capabilities of today's maritime services.
