POW/MIA Ribbon Patch

POW/MIA Ribbon Patch — Embroidered Patch You Are Not Forgotten Some never came home. The POW/MIA ribbon patch carries the weight of every prisoner of war and every service member still missing in action — a solemn promise that their sacrifice has not been forgotten and that the search for answers will never end. This patch is worn in remembrance and in hope. The POW/MIA flag and ribbon were created to maintain awareness of American prisoners of war and those missing in action, particularly from the Vietnam War, where over 1,500 Americans remained unaccounted for at the war's end. The movement gained national recognition in the 1970s and has since expanded to honor POW/MIA personnel from all conflicts. The black and white design — featuring a silhouette of a prisoner behind barbed wire with the words "You Are Not Forgotten" — has become one of the most recognized symbols in American military culture. It flies over federal buildings, appears at every military ceremony, and is worn by veterans and civilians alike as a testament to the nation's obligation to those who gave everything. Perfect For: POW/MIA advocacy supporters, Vietnam War families, military ceremony participants, veteran organizations, patriotic display collectors, and anyone committed to remembering those still unaccounted for Until they all come home.
