As part of national POW-MIA Day, Mayor Buddy Dyer and his Veterans Advisory Council will host an official POW-MIA ceremony to honor United States Military prisoners of war and those still missing in action.

Winter Springs JROTC, accompanied by the Orlando Fire and Police Departments, will lead a symbolic “setting of the table” where each item on the table represents the commitment we have to remembering our POW-MIAs from our five military branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. This year’s ceremony also includes representation from the Orlando Fire and Police departments. The security threat that our nation faced within our own borders seven years ago defined the dedication of our firefighters and police officers. It is for that demonstration of heroism that they will be recognized and honored in this ceremony.
