Memorials for POWs

Memorials for prisoners of war (POWs) are monuments or dedicated spaces that honor and remember service members who were captured and held as prisoners during conflicts. They serve as symbols of respect, acknowledging their sacrifice and the hardships they endured. These memorials may include plaques, statues, or dedicated sites, often located at military cemeteries or historical locations. Their purpose is to ensure that the contributions and suffering of POWs are recognized and preserved in public memory, fostering a sense of gratitude, reflection, and awareness about the realities of war.
