JOSEPH â To honor his military service and his 96th birthday, one of Wallowa Countyâs last World War II and Korean War veterans, Lee Cutler, was presented Thursday, April 8, with a U.S. flag that had flown over the U.S. Capitol and with a new Marine Corps flag.
Cutler has flown one of each from a pole outside his Joseph home for years.
Glenn Smith, a community health care worker from Winding Waters, said Cutler âdisplays his flag proudly,â but theyâre getting worn so they were being replaced.
Kim Hutchison, president of the Eagle Cap Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, made the presentation of the flags April 8. The national flag was obtained by U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Oregon, to honor Cutlerâs service and his birthday.
