The 1945 First Flag Memorial Marker is ok. As the EXO says and I agree, we don’t have to worry about it being vandalized, the CFI personnel and all other employees care about the historical stuff also. Questions in regards the First Flag Memorial Marker can be found here: corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1766/flag-pole-monumentWe recently observed the 72nd anniversary of the 503d PIR raising the US 48 Star Flag; 2017-02-16 on Corregidor Island. Here are a few of the anniversary pictures presented in the above URL: V586. My German family friend Harald (a retired German Army Officer) is standing by the FIRST FLAG MEMORIAL/MARKER. He took all these pictures on the 16th Feb.2017. This is the fourth time he accompanied me this exercise of commemoration. Note the inscriptions on the marker! V587. The US Flag is going up at the new replaced FIRST FLAG Pole at the new FIRST FLAG MEMORIAL/MARKER, sorry, it is not a US 48 Star Flag. This event took place on the 16th Feb. 2017, that is me giving a hand with the flag being unfolded and raised.

Yes, I had seen this post of yours before about 6 weeks ago.
THEN I had seen Pierce's post and his picture showed, and as he said there was no inscription. I got my timelines screwed up, sorry, my fault there.
So glad to see everything is as it should be. Breathing a sigh of relief now.
