Bay VFW honors POW/MIA service members

Friday, Sept. 20, is designated as a national day of recognition and remembrance of our many military members that have no closure, they are not known to be deceased or captured.

The families of these service members have not been able to properly grieve and honor their family. Many today do not know the fate of their loved ones. This is a terrible burden on them and it will continue until they know for sure.

Just this past year, the remains of several Korean War heroes have been returned to their families. This effort to find and identify our missing comrades will never end!

On Sept. 20, take a few minutes to think of these unknown dead or missing. Think of their families, comrades in arms, and their friends.

To commemorate this day, Bay Village VFW Post 9693 will donate a new POW/MIA flag to the Bay Village Police Department to replace their current flag when needed. This is our Post Home one day a month, and we appreciate their service and commitment to our community.
