POW–MIA: 

All those who fought and served their country when they received the call, were men and women of courage, judgment, integrity and dedication. Where does dedication end?  You can never put an end to dedication. After all, those who remain Prisoners of War or are still Missing in Action are still serving with never ending dedication.  We can never let their sacrifices, or them, be forgotten.  

The following are the days that the POW-MIA flag should be flying:

Armed Forces Day – 3rd Saturday in May    Independence Day – July 4

Memorial Day – Last Monday in May           POW-MIA Recognition Day – 3rd Saturday in September

Flag Day – June 14                                         Veterans Day – November 11
