48 Star Flag Flown over 10th Mountain Division HQ

            If you looked closely at the American flag being flown in front of Hays Hall on Feb. 27th, 2013 you might have noticed something a little different. A 48 star flag was flown in honor of PFC Joseph J. A'Hearn, a Soldier who was killed in action during the battle of Iwo Jima on Feb. 27th, 1945. Decades later A'Hearn's grandson, LTC Christopher Moretti, serves as the 10th Mountain Division Chief of Fires. He provided the flag that returned with his Grandfather's casket after WWII to be flown in honor of the legacy of Fallen Warriors who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. LTC Moretti has flown the flag at 10 different installations across the globe on the anniversary of his Grandfather's death, every year since 2003. PFC A'Hearn served with F. Co, 2D Battalion, 25th Regiment, 4th Marine Division and died on 27 Feb. 1945; his remains were returned to his family in December 1948 along with the 48 star American flag.
