Alaska Fisher House Open House
U.S. Air Force Col. Lisa Mabbutt, commander of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and the 673d Air Base Wing, stands in front of a 3D Industrial Art USA flag with retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Joe Pisano during the Annual Open House for the Alaska Fisher House at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Aug. 19, 2024. Alaska is the fourth state to receive a “Veterans Standing Together Across America” (VSTAA) flag. This flag is composed of nearly 5,000 drywall screws and was designed specifically for Alaska by Pisano and will bear the names of all Alaskan veterans who choose to sign as a symbolic act of history, honor and healing.
