Today is National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day.

National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day on April 9th honors the courageous men and women who have endured brutal treatment at the hands of their captors. As a result, they’ve also suffered separation from family and displayed incredible endurance and faith during their captivity. The original intent of Former POW Recognition Day seems focused on the events of April 9, 1942, dubbed the Bataan Death March and on World War Two in general, but over the decades the emphasis on POWs overall has expanded greatly.
Since the Revolutionary War, over half a million service members have been captured. This number does not reflect those lost or never recovered. These heroes deserve not just a day of recognition but to be recognized and remembered everyday.

To every American Soldier and their families, past and present, thank you for your service.
