Banners of awareness
Tech. Sgt. Sal Liuzzi, left, and Barry Newman place a display of 546 flags between Smith Manor and the Levitow Training Support Facility April 12. The flags represent the 546 Air Force victims that reported being sexually assaulted in fiscal 2009, according to a Department of Defense report to Congress released earlier this year. Sergeant Liuzzi was on temporary duty from the 313th Training Squadron, Corry Station, Fla, for victim advocate training. Mr. Newman is on the sexual assault prevention and response office at Keesler. Earlier this month, the flags were placed on Larcher Boulevard near the entrance to the new base exchange and commissary. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
