In 1971, Mrs. Michael Hoff, the wife of a US military officer listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War, developed the idea for a national flag to remind every American of the US service members whose fates were never accounted for during the war. The black and white image of a gaunt silhouette, a strand of barbed wire and an ominous watchtower was designed by Newt Heisley, a former WWII pilot. By the end of the Vietnam War, more than 2,500 service members were listed as Prisoner of War or Missing in Action. In 1979, Congress and the president proclaimed the first National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Three years later, the POW/MIA flag became the only flag other than the Stars and Stripes to fly over the White House in Washington, DC. “The symbol of our Nation's concern and commitment to resolving as fully as possible the fates of Americans still prisoner, missing and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia”;.Congress designated the third Friday of September as National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

“To Correct the Past and Protect the Future”; Rolling Thunder® Inc's major function is to publicize the POW/MIA issue. To educate the public of the fact that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars. To help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners. We are committed to helping diabled veterans from all wars
