POW/MIA Run

Airmen from the 921st Contingency Response Squadron hand the Chief’s Group the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flags, Sept. 21, 2018 at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Service members, civilians and family members will keep the POW/MIA flag in constant motion for a 24-hour period. Over 1,000 Travis personnel and family members will log over 200 miles, running around the base track, before the final runner carries the flag across the finish line Friday afternoon. According to the Defense POW/ MIA Accounting Agency, at present, more than 82,000 Americans remain missing from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf Wars and other conflicts. During the run Airmen will recite the names of all service members still unaccounted for. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch) (U.S. Air Force Photo by Heide Couch)
