Although not an official national holiday, by presidential proclamation our country has observed National MIA/POW Recognition Day since 1979. That day is held on the third Friday in September to honor the sacrifice of America's POWs and MIAs and their families, and to address the fate of troops still unaccounted for in conflict since the First World War.
