POW/MIA RECOGNITION DAY

 

The United States' National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed across the

nation on the third Friday of September each year. Americans take the time
to remember those who are or were at one time prisoners of war (POW) and
those who are still missing in action (MIA), as well as their families.
National POW/MIA Recognition Day is not a federal public holiday in the
United States but it is a national observance.
 
Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the Auxiliary
invite the public to their remembrance program Friday, September 16th, 10:00
a.m. at the Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the History Courthouse in
Center.  The POW/MIA Flag that has flown there 24/7 for the last year will
be retired and a new one hoisted.  
 
The names of veterans from Shelby County known to have at one time been a
Prisoner of War (30) and those still missing in action (30) will be read.
As always the public, city and county officials from all over Shelby County
are cordially invited.
