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.
