The climbing of Mt. POW-MIA

 

In August 1999, the Alaska Historical Commission dedicated a previously unnamed  mountain in honor of America's POW's and MIA's,   Located  at 61.27N /149.12W in  Alaska's South Central Region,  Mt. POW-MIA rises to an elevation of 4,235ft msl  and  lies  directly behind (south of) the Wasilla "Veteran's Wall of Honor".  

In August 2000,  Fullhouse (Alaska State "P"),  climbed Mt. POW-MIA. The POW-MIA Flag (pictured) fly's year around and is maintained by Colony High School ROTC cadets.  The Cadets established a "sign in registry" inside the rock pile hidden in a carafe. The registry reads 8/16/00 "For all Brothers of the Vietnam Vets Motorcycle Club, USA".
