HAVANA, CUBA - AUGUST 14: Three U.S. Marines accept the American flag from the three retired Marines who lowered the flag from in front of the U.S. Embassy in January of 1969 on August 14, 2015 in Havana, Cuba. Secretary of State John Kerry, who presided over the flag-raising ceremony, said the retired Marines -- Corporal Larry Morris, Gunnery Sergeant Francis East, and Master Gunnery Sergeant James Tracy -- had promised to return to Cuba and raise the flag again.
