First Day of Issue: May 29, 1995 First Day City: Washington DC, site of the U.S. Department of Defense Stamp Designer: Carl HerrmanThis U.S. stamp states withcertainty that America's prisoners of war andmissing in action are "never forgotten." They are honored andremembered in Memorial Day ceremonies aroundthe country, just as they are constantly in the thoughts and prayers of theirfamily and friends. Americans are committed to theidea that each person is "a unique individual who has the right to hope,to survive, and to ultimately have a life after the wounds of combat." Theyinsist on a full accounting for all military personnel. In the case of POWs andMIAs, the search for answers is often very difficult. It is aided by thegovernment and by veterans' and private organizations such as American Ex Prisoners of War and Red Badge of Courage. A variety of means exist toidentify POWs and MIAs. Among the most common are military dog tags, which cameinto use at the end of World War I. They are stamped with the name, serialnumber, blood type of the individual, and his or her religious affiliation, ifdesired. Further, the Geneva Convention of 1929, which specifically relates to prisoners of war, requires captors to supply informationabout the personnel they hold. Tragically, the accounting forthe men and women in uniform from every American war is incomplete. From theVietnam War alone, nearly 2,300 service personnel are still listed as missingin action.
