Chair represents a place being held for all POW/MIA’s
Rolling Thunder Incorporated, Illinois Chapter 3, will be placing a POW/MIA Chair of Honor at the Sullivan VFW Post No. 6410 on Saturday, May 17th at 2:00 p.m. This is Armed Forces Day. The public is invited to attend the unveiling of this chair.
A Rolling Thunder POW/MIA Chair of Honor is a dedicated, empty seat in a public space, typically a stadium or arena, used to honor and remember U.S. servicemen and women who are Prisoners of War or Missing in Action (POW/MIA). These chairs are a symbol of the ongoing effort to bring all American servicemen and women home and a reminder of their sacrifices. This chair is placed for families to reflect and find closure and know their loved one always has a place waiting for them, and represent the 82,000-plus unaccounted American Service Personnel who never returned home from service to their country.
