POW/MIA



 On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) reminds every American to never forget to honor those who were held captive and returned, and those who remain missing in action.

The day is a poignant reminder of those whose sacrifice helped pave the way to freedom and protection of the American way of life. Established through proclamation signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, National POW/MIA Recognition Day is commemorated across the nation on the third Friday in September
