POW - MIA PROGRAM 

All those who fought and served their country when they received the call, were men and women of courage, judgment, integrity and dedication. Where does dedication end? You can never put an end to  dedication. After all, those who remain Prisoners of War or are still Missing in Action are still serving with never ending dedication. For them, it can never be over. For us, we can never let their sacrifices, or them, be forgotten.

Any POW-MIA chairperson or Post Commander who submits a report to Department chairperson no later than April 30, 2018 will also receive additional points for the following.

1.        Two (2) points for each month that POW-MIA flag is flying at Post or a member's   home.

2.         Three (3) points for each POW-MIA flag sold by Post.

3.         Six (6) points for each POW-MIA flag donated to community for display.

4.         Fifteen (15) points for each POW-MIA activity.

5.         Fifteen (15) points for best overall program with pictures.

            6.         Two (2) Points for any POW-MIA supplies sold or donated

 

All reports should be submitted with photos or newspaper clippings.
