Never forget. National POW/MIA Recognition Day.
We are exceedingly fortunate that we have only one MIA in the current War on Terror suspected to still be alive. We are exceedingly unfortunate to have had our other MIA service-members be killed by their captors.
Some people never hear the words "welcome home".
