Background: Photo was taken in May of 1973, and the occasion was an awards ceremony held at NCS Philippines (San Miguel).

announced, and remained on station as Primary Identification Radar Advisory Zone (PIRAZ, sometimes known as Red Crown) to
support Operation Homecoming, the repatriation of the POWs from the Hanoi Hilton.
