National POW MIA Recognition Day events will be held September 21, beginning at 10 a.m., on the Camden Village Green. Camden's War Memorial Post 30, American Legion members will read the names of the Maine U. S. Armed Services members, from all wars, who are still unaccounted for.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed annually in September. The central theme is to demonstrate the ongoing commitment to ensure the full accountability of captured service members and missing war heroes to their families.

“POW/MIA Day is the one day of every year where all veteran organizations gather to honor and remember those who remain in captivity or are missing,” said Legion District 6 Commander Jeff Sukeforth. "Every veteran, and the community, should be a part of this to remember the many men, the brothers, fathers, uncles from every state, especially the 11 men from Maine."

Members of the public are welcome to attend.
