They posted the 'colors' and had a special presentation for the 'Prison of War' and 'Missing in Action' flag Ron Kerr, American Legion Post 492, said, "This is a reminder for all of us... to spare no effort to secure the release of any American prisoners from captivity," Kerr adds... the flag is for all of the soldiers who are still unaccounted for from all of the war and conflicts involving the U-S. Wednesday is just one day veterans are recognized their service. But, Vietnam Veteran, Ralph Swain says they should be honored everyday.
