KINGSTON – Friday, September 16 marked National POW/MIA Day, a day to honor and remember the men and women of the armed forces who remain missing in action or prisoners of war.
“The POW/MIA flag serves as a daily reminder of these brave American heroes,” said Ulster County Executive Michael Hein. “It also serves as a symbol of our commitment to caring for their loved ones at home who anxiously await word or pray for their safe return.”
Hein said the nation “must never forget the sacrifices of those who put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we hold so dear, as we rededicate our efforts to bring these brave soldiers home swiftly and safely.”
