The public is invited to a ceremony at noon on Friday, Sept. 16 to commemorate National POW/MIA Recognition Day. The ceremony will take place at the POW/MIA Sentinel Memorial Fountain on Seaplane Base, located near Building 13.

The service will honor all veterans whose remains have been brought home during the past year and remember all those still labeled as Prisoners of War or Missing in Action.

Guest speaker for the event will be Lt. Cmdr. Brian Danielson, a member of the National League of Families for POW/MIAs. Danielson is a former Individual Agumentee who helped excavate the remains of a missing service member in Laos, Vietnam.

There will also be a motorcycle rally which will leave from the Saratoga Gate (Hospital Gate) at 9 a.m. Call 703-220-4361 for more information on the bike rally.
