In keeping with the President and First Lady’s commitment to honor the sacrifices of all who serve - veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors - the POW/MIA flag has been restored to its globally-recognized position on top of the White House residence. This action reaffirms our Nation's commitment to account as fully as possible for America's Prisoners of War, Missing in Action & other US personnel still unaccounted-for to ensure they are never forgotten.
As of May 24, 2022,
the number of Americans Missing and Unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War is still 1,584
the number of Americans Missing and Unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War is still 1,584
