Veteran Voices: William Arcuri, A promise that as a nation, we will never forget

The iconic black and white POW/MIA flag is not just a symbol; it’s a promise. A promise that as a nation, we will never forget. A promise that we remain unwavering in our efforts to bring every missing service member home. It is a daily reminder that in the heart of our commitment lies the essence of hope, respect, and an enduring love for our American heroes. May our hearts go out to the loved ones who have yet to have their soldier return home and may hope rain to one day have he/she return.
