POW-MIA Monument – Veterans Cemetery – Indiana

POW-MIA Monument - Veterans Cemetery - Indiana

A POW-MIA Monument located at the Indiana Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Madison, Indiana. The POW-MIA emblem pictured is the official symbol  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 more commonly seen 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.  The slogan “You are not forgotten” was officially adopted by the National League of POW/MIA Families as their motto.
