The National League of Families' POW/MIA flag blows in the wind while below the U.S. flag while more than 200 past and present military members gathered with civilians to celebrate National POW/MIA Recognition Day with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) in Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept. 16. The third Friday of September has served as the National POW/MIA Recognition Day since 1986 and honors and recognizes the sacrifices of those Americans who have been prisoners of war and to remind the nation of those individuals that are still missing.
JPAC is responsible for the recovery of missing Americans from past conflicts and travels all around the world in search of those individuals in order to bring full accountability to their families and the American people.
