Join us in observance of National POW/MIA Recognition Day — the third Friday in September, as established by the 1998 Defense Authorization Act. On this day, we honor the American Patriots who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action.
According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, more than 83,000 service members are still missing from conflicts ranging from World War ll to the present day.
73,000 are missing from World War ll
7,000 Korean conflict
1,600 Vietnam
126 Cold war
6 from conflicts since 1991.
Notably, there are two Vietnam POWs who have significantly influenced our lives at The Patriot Post. The first would be Mark Alexander’s mentor, Col. Roger Ingvalson, and the second, our longtime friend Lt. Col. Bill Gauntt. Both of these men have now departed this life. We will be forever grateful to them and all those who have endured being taken Prisoner of War.
We honor the service and sacrifice of all our Patriots in uniform, present and past, and, being central to our Armed Forces mission of service, offer our gratitude and daily prayers for them and their families.
