Throughout the vigil, military members and civilians walked, ran and read the names of prisoners of war and service members missing in action while carrying the POW/MIA flag around the Air Park. The event concluded 18 September with closing remarks from Col. Nicholas R. Ihde, 56th Fighter Wing commander, and retired U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Vic Peterson, a Vietnam War veteran and longtime Luke AFB community advocate. The ceremony honored former prisoners of war, remembered those still missing and reaffirmed the commitment to never forget their service and sacrifice. (U.S. Air Force video by Daniel Eby)
