New home for Kulis Air Guard Base's flagpole 

Change of Command photo

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Members from the Alaska Air National Guard's 176 Wing flag detail raise the U.S. flag during a ceremony in the Sandlake community of Anchorage, Alaska, Oct. 25, 2011. The ceremony was hosted by the community and was about the relocation of the flagpole that had once been on the now BRAC-closed Kulis Air National Guard Base. The base had been a part of the community from February 1955 until March 2011. The flagpole is now about six blocks west of its original location on the corner of Jewel Lake Road and Raspberry Road and has been dedicated to all those who were stationed at Kulis.
