Today, on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we pause to remember the heroes who never returned home and those whose fate is still unknown. Their courage carried them into the darkest of places, and their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is never free.

For every name unspoken, every chair left empty, and every family still waiting—today we honor their strength, their service, and their memory. May we never forget, and may we always keep faith with those who served.

🕯️ You are not forgotten.
