Our major function is to publicize the POW/MIA issue, to educate the public that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars, and to help correct the past and to protect the future veterans from being left behind should they become Prisoner of War/Missing in Action. We are also committed to helping veterans from all wars.

On a local level, we host a POW/MIA Awareness Run in September and all money from the Registrations are divided between the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA. and the VA Hospital in Salem VA.
Each Christmas, we provide Gift Bags for the patients at the VA Hospital as well as hosting a luncheon. The local community pitches in and helps by donating items from a wish list provided by the VA Hospital.
We visit with the patients at the VA Hospital several times during the year, having cookouts, having ice cream parties, playing bingo or whatever else they would like to do.
The public is invited to participate - information regarding the dates and times are listed on our Schedule of Events. For more information, please feel free to contact any of the Officers as well as the Board members listed on the Executive Board page.
