Honoring the Unseen Heroes: Vietnam Veteran and Lowe's Manager Unite to Raise Awareness for POW/MIA Soldiers

Inspired by one Vietnam veteran's mission to honor those missing in action or prisoners of war, Lowe's across the nation will permanently install the National League of Families POW/MIA flag in stores on Friday, Sept. 20, National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

Since Nov. 2019, when the National POW/MIA Flag Act, was signed into law, the POW/MIA flag has been required to be flown directly underneath the American flag on all days the U.S. flag is flown. Since then, Alan Micklin, a veteran and passionate advocate, has worked to ensure the flag is flown in its proper place to honor both service members who remain missing in action or prisoners of war and their families.
