Governor signs proclamation commemorating POW/MIA recognition day in Florida

Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed the annual POW/MIA Recognition Day in Florida Proclamation. Sept. 20, 2024, is National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

The POW/MIA flag is flown daily over the Florida Capitol, rest areas along Florida’s Interstate Highways, at Florida’s State Parks, and the state’s network of veterans’ homes to honor those classified as Prisoners of War or Missing in Action.

POW/MIA Recognition Day in Florida is an opportunity to honor all Americans who were POWs and those still missing and unaccounted for from all wars.
