Over the course of American history, it’s estimated that over a half-million servicemembers have been held as prisoners of war. As of today over 82,000 of our nation’s bravest, who served in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam, remain unaccounted for. On National POW/MIA Recognition Day we acknowledge and honor those heroes whose service cannot and will not be forgotten. And we acknowledge and honor the thousands of families who have gone years without knowing what happened to a loved one. The sacrifices of these servicemembers and their families are not in vain; our nation is stronger and the world safer because of them. Our nation thanks them and we remain committed to bringing each and every servicemember missing in action back home. #Neverforgotten
