POW/MIA

VFW Post 759 • Kearney, Nebraska

Remembering America’s POWs and MIAs

We honor those who endured captivity, those who remain unaccounted for and the families who continue to wait for answers.

You Are Not Forgotten

A Promise of Remembrance

VFW Post 759 joins veterans, families and Americans across the nation in remembering our prisoners of war and those still missing from past conflicts. Their courage, sacrifice and service will not be forgotten.

Former Prisoners of War

We honor the American service members who were captured and held as prisoners of war. Their endurance under unimaginable circumstances represents extraordinary courage and devotion to country.

Those Still Missing

We remember every service member who has not returned home and support the continuing mission to locate, identify and account for America’s missing personnel.

Their Families

We stand with the families who have carried uncertainty, grief and hope across generations. Their loved ones’ service and sacrifice remain part of our nation’s story.

The POW/MIA Flag

The black-and-white POW/MIA flag is a lasting reminder of American service members who were prisoners of war or remain missing in action.

Its words—"You Are Not Forgotten”—represent the nation’s promise to remember their service, seek the fullest possible accounting and support the families awaiting answers.

What It Represents

  • Remembrance of those held captive
  • Hope for those still unaccounted for
