Alan Dierking holds photos of his father, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Russell A. Dierking in uniform during World War II, while meeting with members of the Astoria-based Obon Society at the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Astoria, Oregon, on March 7, 2025. During the meeting with the Obon Society, Dierking was returning a captured WWII flag that his father brought home from the war in 1945. The Obon Society’s mission is to facilitate the return of captured WWII flags to Japanese descendants of those soldiers who carried them off to war as send-off gifts.
