Friday Night – 5:30 PM – POW / MIA Recognition & Remembrance Event

In the United States, National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed annually on the third Friday in September. It honors those who were prisoners of war and those who are still missing in action. The Palm Springs Air Museum remembers all those who made these sacrifices for our freedoms by joining together the people who proudly wore the Vietnam POW bracelets and the military members for whom they wore the bracelets.  Join us for an evening of stories, first meetings, happiness, tears, and remembrance for all who gave so much.
