POW/MIA Flag to Fly Over White House Again

“As of today, April 9, the POW/MIA flag will, once again, fly over the White House,” said VVA National President John Rowan. “We are grateful to President Joe Biden for restoring the POW/MIA flag to its rightful place, where it is visible for the world to see. This flag symbolizes our Nation’s commitment to resolving the fates of those still listed as prisoner, missing, and unaccounted for from all conflicts.”
The POW/MIA flag had flown over the White House under the American flag since the 1990s. On June 14, 2020, Flag Day, Trump ordered the POW/MIA flag removed, despite having signed into law the National POW/MIA Flag Act on Nov. 7, 2019—a law that ensured the flag would forever be visible from all federal buildings, including the White House. President Biden chose April 9 as the appropriate day to restore the flag to its rightful place, as it is Former POW/MIA Day.
Created for the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia and officially recognized by the United States Congress, the POW/MIA flag stands for our Nation’s commitment to resolving, as fully as possible, the fates of Americans still prisoner, missing and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia and elsewhere, thus ending the uncertainty for their families and the Nation.
