A Pause for Atatürk, founder of the modern-day Republic of Türkiye

The Turkish flag waves in the wind before the commencement of the Atatürk Memorial Day ceremony at Incirlik Air Base, Türkiye, Nov. 10, 2022. In commemoration of the 84th anniversary of the death of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of the modern-day Republic of Türkiye, the 10th Tanker Base Command and the 39th Air Base Wing paid tribute to Atatürk.
