The flag was brought to the base by reservists from the Navy’s 133rd Construction Battalion, who joined Marines already deployed here, arriving from Guam aboard a C-17 transport aircraft early Friday. They raised the flag — orange, white and blue with the city seal in the center — just below a U.S. flag on the same bamboo pole Friday morning, while Marines continued to dig in around the base perimeter and hone their weapons skills. “Two of our reservists had friends in the [World Trade Center] building, so when firefighters said ‘Will you do us a favor? Wherever you go, please fly this flag to remember those people, we said ’yes,”’ Seabee Chief Petty Officer Robert Tanner said. Many of the reservists worked as Port Authority police and in similar jobs and helped in the rescue efforts after the suicide hijackers’ Sept. 11 attacks on the twin towers, said Tanner, 40, of Rensselaerville, N.Y. The Seabees also flew the flag in Guam, where they are usually based. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
