Honoring The Fallen: POW/MIA Recognition Day
Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day, a day set aside to pause and honor the service and sacrifice of all our prisoners of war and all those who are still unaccounted for, as well as their families.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has made it their mission to reunite service members and their families. Today, many soldiers are still unaccounted for from previous wars, but recent advances in technology have allowed scientists and researchers to recover and honor these heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
#YouAreNotForgotten #POWMIARecognitionDay

You may have heard of the #SwampGhost, but do you know the fascinating history behind this unique WWII B-17 Bomber?
After running out of fuel during a bombing mission in WWII, the Flying Fortress splashed into the Agaiambo Swamp in Papua New Guinea, settling into five feet of water and thick grass.
She sat there for 64 years, only seen by Australian Army pilots who glimpsed it from overhead, giving her the nickname “Swamp Ghost.”
Year after year, this treasured piece of history was slowly fading away.
That is until aviation enthusiast Alfred Hagen and his crew, led the arduous recovery of the Swamp Ghost in 2006.
Join us on Friday, Sept 11th at 9:00 a.m. HST / 3:00 p.m. EST, as we speak with Alfred Hagen about this aircraft’s journey from the Agaiambo swamp to her home at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.
