MAYOR BUDDY DYER AND HIS VETERANS ADVISORY COUNCIL RECOGNIZE U.S. MILITARY IN HONOR OF NATIONAL POW-MIA DAY

WHAT: As part of national POW-MIA Day, Mayor Buddy Dyer and his Veterans Advisory Council will host an official POW-MIA ceremony to honor those United States Military prisoners of war and those still missing in action. The UCF Air Force ROTC – Arnold Air Society 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.
