Airman from the 60th Aerial Port Squadron hand the United States and War/Missing in Action flags to members of the 21st Airlift Squadron during the POW/MIA Remembrance Run, Sept. 20, 2018, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. The objective is to keep the flags in constant motion for a 24 hour period. Over 1,000 Travis personnel will log over 200 miles, running around the base track, before the final runner carries the flag across the finish line Friday afternoon. According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, at present, more than 82,000 Americans remain missing from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf Wars and other conflicts. During the run Airmen will recite the names of all service members still unaccounted for. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)
