POW-MIA Awareness

POW-MIA Awareness honors military personnel who were prisoners of war or missing in action, emphasizing the need to account for all service members who have not returned. It involves remembering their sacrifices, raising public consciousness, and supporting efforts to locate and identify missing personnel. The awareness promotes gratitude and ensures that the sacrifices of these individuals are recognized and that they are never forgotten. The annual observance, particularly on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to bring them home and provide closure for their families.
