Image description: Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day, a day that honors the men and women who have sacrificed so much for their country. This observance is one of six days throughout the year that Congress mandates the flying of the National League of Families’ POW/MIA flag. The flag is to be flown at major military installations, national cemeteries, post offices, war memorials and the White House.
