POW-MIA and American Flags with Blue Sky - Indiana

A POW-MIA flag accompanied by an American Flag against a blue sky at the Indiana Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Madison, Indiana.  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 official adopted by the National League of POW/MIA Families as their motto, and “Freedom Is not Free” is a common statement reminding everyone that the price of American comes at a tremendous cost of human lives that should be remembered and respected.
