It is in celebration of the 100th year of this great Society.  The two, Colonel Patrick M. Coullahan, P.E., USAF (ret) and John K. Magee, P.E., along with input from more that 30 others, many of them Fellows and Past Anchorage Post Presidents have described Alaskan events, military activities, engineering and construction achievements, and reasons to celebrate military engineers and their myriad of Alaskan accomplishments.
