Mike ‘Flagman’ Bowen honored as Michigan’s Veteran of the Year
"More than 40 years after Mike “Flagman” Bowen ran his first mile to honor fallen and missing soldiers, he’s been recognized as Michigan’s Veteran of the Year for his work to keep attention on the ultimate sacrifices of others. Bowen has logged roughly 78,000 miles since starting his journey after meeting a grieving mother at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., in 1982, running every mile since carrying a black POW/MIA flag."
Thank You Mike "Flagman" Bowen!

The POW/MIA Flag at Yankee Stadium During the 2024 World Series
An incredibly valiant effort by the Yankees last night, even though in the end the Dodgers would end up victorious.
No matter which team you were rooting for, there is one thing we can all agree on - THE NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR OUR MISSING POW/MIAs! Which is why the League would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the New York Yankees for publicly displaying the POW/MIA flag at Yankees Stadium!

Fairchild Honors National POW/MIA Recognition Day with 24-hour Ruck March
"A table in memory of U.S. military prisoners of war and those missing in action stands on display during a National POW/MIA Recognition Day event at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Sept. 20, 2024. Airmen assigned to FAFB completed a 24-hour ruck march in honor of National POW/MIA Recognition Day. The march began at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Riverfront Park and ended at Fairchild AFB with participants keeping the POW/MIA flag in constant motion for 24 hours.
Every year, the third Friday in September is recognized in the United States as National POW/MIA Recognition Day. The Department of Defense is steadfast in its commitment to finding, recovering, identifying and repatriating the remains of its heroes who are unaccounted for. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
