Christmas Tree Honoring Korean & Cold War POW/MIA
2020
2020
The Strawbery Banke museum of historic New England homes, in Portsmouth, NH, holds a special holiday event … Candlelight Stroll Under the Stars. Nonprofit organizations sponsor and decorate a tree.
This year, Donna Knox (father is MIA) memorialized a tree in the Coalition’s name. Photos of missing men were hung among the decorations … representative of all the men. A POW/MIA flag served at the top. This was a holiday way to broaden awareness of the accounting mission … while honor all the missing.

All the best, as always … especially so over the holidays!

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day (Sept 18 ), prisoners of war and those still missing in action were honored in ceremonies across the country … literally … from the Pentagon in Washington, DC, to Boring, Oregon, to Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Coalition was represented by family members at two of the events. Robin Davitt (Cpl. William Douglas, uncle, POW/MIA North Korea) attended the Pentagon Ceremony and Sharyn Selby (Lt. Leland Richey, father, MIA North Korea) was roadside in Boring, Oregon, as U.S. Highway 26 was officially designated “POW/MIA Memorial Highway”!
