History
POW MIA
The POW/MIA flag is one of the most solemn symbols in American military culture, bearing a stark white silhouette of a bowed prisoner against a black field, a guard tower, barbed wire, and the words 'You Are Not Forgotten.' Designed in 1971 by Newt Heisley for the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, the image was inspired by Heisley's own son, a young Marine who had lost weight during training. The flag was created during the Vietnam War era to demand accountability for prisoners of war and those missing in action, and it has since been adopted as a symbol honoring all American service members who never returned. By federal law, it flies beneath the American flag at designated locations including the White House, the Capitol, and every VA facility—a permanent vigil in fabric form.
