Flags in Iowa will be at half-staff on Saturday, June 28, in honor of a World War II veteran whose remains had been missing since 1945.

A flag carried by a Japanese soldier killed in action during World War II was handed over Thursday by the USS Lexington Museum in Texas to a nonprofit organization for return to the man’s family.

He decided he would bring along a few hundred of Firebrand’s World War II-era 48-star flags. “We made the 48-star flag to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day,” said Daniels.

TURBOTVILLE — An exhibition of 31 classic World War II flags is on display in the upstairs two rooms of the Turbotville Community Hall, 6 to 8:30 p.m. as part of Turbotville’s annual carnival.
