In 1999 a World War 2 Japanese flag was rescued from a box of rags that was about to be burned bore the signatures of 189 soldiers of I Company of the 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment. The wife of the man who found the flag later began a project called The Names On The Flag to document those signatures on the flag and to get as much information as possible about those soldiers.
