36th Wing rededicates base plaque

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam - Brig. Gen. Doug Owens, 36th Wing commander, and Col. Joel Westa, 36th WG vice commander, stand at attention as Airmen from Andersen's Honor Guard perform the flag folding ceremony during the plaque rededication ceremony held at 4:45 p.m. today at the 36th WG Headquarters Building. The base held the rededication ceremony to unveil the original plaque that named Andersen after its namesake Brig. Gen. Roy Andersen. General Andersen was a former chief of staff of the Army Air Forces in the Pacific who died in an aircraft accident over the Pacific Ocean in 1945. The plaque was originally dedicated in 1949 when North Field was renamed Andersen Air Force Base. The event was one of many held during Guam's Air Force Week to honor the Air Force's 60th Anniversary. (Photo by Senior Airman Sonya Padilla/ 36th Wing Public Affairs)
