Today we acknowledge the anguish and sacrifice of POW/MIA service members and their families. We will never forget.

More than 81,000 Americans remain missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf War and other conflicts. The American Legion remains committed to achieving a full accounting of all U.S. servicemembers from all war eras who are either imprisoned or listed as missing in action.

As part of this commitment, the Legion encourages a return of living POWs, repatriation of the remains of the fallen from war zones abroad, or a determination through convincing evidence that neither is possible. This is further backed through Resolution 22: https://archive.legion.org/node/533.
