Chapter 364 Joins POW/MIA Remembrance

Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 364 joined dozens of local citizens in honoring POW/MIAs from Cambria County, Pa., on Sept. 20, National POW/MIA recognition Day. The service shows that there are members of the community standing behind local families in their search for answers.

“It’s good to recognize those we haven’t made accountability of, whether they were POWs or MIAs,” retired Brig. Gen. Merle Hart said at the ceremony. “Honoring them, remembering them and hopefully someday bringing them home.”

The service reminds the government that these men and women matter, chapter Secretary Marlin Plymette told WJAC-TV News. “The government needs to be aware that these people are important to our community and our society. There are 82,000 from all the wars who are still missing.”
