POW-MIA Vigil

The 24-hour POW/MIA Vigil at the University of Illinois is hosted by cadets and midshipmen from the Air Force, Army, and Navy ROTC departments. The vigil honors and remembers the sacrifices made by those who have served their country selflessly. We particularly want to commemorate those who have been held prisoners of war or are missing in action. Though they are not with us, they are never forgotten. Activities at this year's vigil (November 14-15) included writing letters to the troops, writing names of POW/MIA on the Memorial Wall, and selling yellow ribbons.
