National POW/MIA Recognition Day & Exhibit Grand Opening

The Virginia War Memorial will honor and remember those taken Prisoner of War (POW) and those still Missing in Action (MIA) with the official opening of our newest exhibit, Virginia’s MIA: The Search Continues. This powerful exhibit brings forward the names and stories of Virginia’s still missing in action and the ongoing efforts to bring them home. The crucial work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) will be highlighted, as well as other agencies, in their mission to locate, identify, and return our MIAs. Today, more than 80,000 Americans remain missing, including more than 1,300 Virginians – this exhibit is a tribute to them.
