The 50 stars and 13 stripes of the American Flag represent the current 50 states in the Union and the original thirteen colonies prior to the founding of the United States of America. A symbol of the United States is a national symbol often identified with unity, patriotism, sacrifice, courage, liberty and freedom.

The POW-MIA Flag is the official symbols of the National League of POW/MIA Families, which was created in 1970 to bring awareness to prisoners of war (POW) and those missing in action (MIA), from the Vietnam War. The flag, adopted in 1972, has since become a widely adopted symbol, visible at most military installations, US Post Offices, as well as federal and local government agencies, and veteran group posts and celebrations. Two slogans are visible in the image, “You are not forgotten” was officially adopted by the National League of POW/MIA Families as their motto.
