National POW/MIA Recognition Day Friday, Sept.16

POW/MIA Remembrance Day honors those Americans who were prisoners of war and those who served and never returned home.

The Department of Defense estimates that “today, nearly 82,000 service members remain unaccounted for from conflicts dating back to World War II. More than 72,000 of those were lost during World War II, nearly 8,000 from the Korean War, and around 1,600 remain unaccounted for from the Vietnam War.”

You Are Not Forgotten.
