POE inspectors band together with North Idaho partners to bring flags to Bonners Ferry port BONNERS FERRY - Since the establishment of the Bonners Ferry Port of Entry (POE) more than two decades ago, there has always been something missing — the United States flag, the Idaho State flag, and the POW/MIA flag. Thanks to the request of POE Inspector Tom Chaney, the efforts of other District 1 (North Idaho) staff, an area business that donated and poured concrete for the base of the flagpole, and an ample amount of sweat equity, the Colors are now flying at the port.
