The Intrepid Museum joins the nation in mourning the passing of Colin Powell, the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State, and a great American. In 1996, Intrepid had the privilege of honoring Secretary Powell with the Intrepid Freedom Award at its annual Salute to Freedom Gala. The Museum will pay tribute to his remarkable life by lowering its flags to half staff. All of us at Intrepid offer our heartfelt condolences to his family.
