Councilman Luis Viera, alongside State Senator Jay Collins and Tammy Zell of the American Legion Auxiliary, will lead a flag raising ceremony to honor the memory and sacrifice of PFC Hugh Gilbert “Buddy” Strickland, the first casualty of war from the Port Tampa City community. Buddy, a courageous soldier who gave his all during World War II, holds a significant place in the hearts of the Port Tampa City community. As a tribute to his service and ultimate sacrifice, Councilman Viera will oversee the raising of the POW-MIA flag, a symbol of remembrance for prisoners of war and those missing in action, in his honor.
