“Until They Are Home”

U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Danang McKay Command Senior Enlisted Leader Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command

I’m constantly reminded of why we continue America’s search for our missing heroes; at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command we deploy between 60 and 70 teams a year to search for, recover and identify these heroes. On this day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we pay tribute to those men and women who, above all, demonstrated the highest degree of duty, honor, selfless service and personal courage. But it is every day we learn from their example and benefit from their sacrifices.
