First Lt. Phillip M. Downey has a unique gift from Afghanistan for
his soon-to-be-born son at home. He is sending his upcoming baby boy
the Stars and Stripes, which flew 50 feet above the Task Force
Leatherneck compound here April 28, 2012. Downey is currently serving a
year deployment to Helmand province with 1st Marine Division
(Forward) and said he doesn't think he'll be able to make it home in
time to see his son born, so he dedicated a flag to him.
