Recognition and Memorial of those of our comrades still MIA

The Board and Membership of VVA Chapter 303 of Columbia, SC, are spearheading the Recognition and Memorial of those of our comrades still MIA. The Chapter has chosen four of the twenty-seven still Missing in Action from South Carolina. The Chapter follows through with a legacy of recognition.

• Recognition of National POW/MIA Day, held annually on the 3rd Friday of September. Honoring all Service Members who were prisoners of war or are still missing.
• Meetings include the honoring of the presence of the ‘Empty Chair’, which is a physical symbol of the VVA’s commitment to achieving the full accounting of ALL U.S. Servicemembers with emphasis on the Vietnam Conflict.
• The continuing promise for the veterans and families who lived through this chapter of history. The recognition of Vietnam MIAs is not just a commemoration but a promise of commitment to those who served. It is a promise that we’ll never forget those who were held captive or never came home
