Vice Chief of the Army Gen. John M. Keane accepts a banner from Senators Ted Stevens (R) and Frank Murkowski (R) on behalf of the state of Alaska April 9 at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Bridge builders of Anchorage prepared two banners, one for New York City and one for the Pentagon to show solidarity and support after September 11, 2001. The banner for NYC was delivered by Alaskan firefighters in the fall, but the one for the Pentagon was not delivered because it was in the Hart building when the building was contaminated and not available. The banner was signed by more than 10,000 Alaskans and measures 4 feet wide and 60 feet long.
