Groups to hold POW/MIA activities
A symbolic prisoner cage, patriotic murals, special bracelets and a 12-hour student relay are among several local activities scheduled to mark National POW/MIA Recognition Day on Friday.
In Washington, D.C., on Friday morning, President Bush will issue a proclamation reminding the nation of those Americans who have served as prisoners of war or those who never returned home and remain missing in action.
From 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday in New Smyrna Beach, outside Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4250, 2350 Sunset Drive, an art exhibit will center around a simulated prisoner cage -- a "tiger cage" like those used in Vietnam, said Tom Ryan.
