A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the third Friday of September should be recognized as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day".
This Senate resolution proposes recognizing the third Friday of September as National POW/MIA Recognition Day to honor military personnel who are prisoners of war or missing in action. The bill cites Department of Defense data indicating that over 80,000 U.S. servicemembers remain unaccounted for across various conflicts, with the majority located in the Asia-Pacific region. It encourages Americans to observe the day by participating in local commemorative events, displaying the POW/MIA flag, and supporting the families of those who are missing.
