OCEAN VIEW – National POW/MIA Recognition Day will be observed Sept. 20, at 11 a.m. at the Garden State Parkway Ocean View Rest Stop Mile Marker 18.3.
According to a release, this annual event honors missing service members and their families, and highlights the government’s commitment to account for them.
Support for these missing Americans and their families is deeply felt. America’s POW/MIAs should be honored and recognized, rather than memorialized, with the focus on continuing commitment to account as fully as possible for those still missing.
Strong, united support by the American people is crucial to achieving concrete answers.
Members of American Legion Post 524 will gather at the Veterans Memorial Gazebo on the Garden State Parkway at the Ocean View Rest Stop for a brief remembrance.
All post family members and friends are invited.
