POW-MIA Black Ribbon, VFW – Rising Sun, Indiana
A POW-MIA Black Ribbon hangs outside of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post in Rising Sun, Indiana. The POW-MIA Black Ribbon, and Flag are the official symbols of the National League of POW/MIA Families, which was created in 1970 to bring awareness to prisoners of war and those missing in action, from Vietnam. 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.
