POW*MIA Symbol - You Are Not Forgotten | Memorial Emblem #3894816 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white POW*MIA emblem centers on a profile silhouette of a prisoner of war, framed by a circular border containing a guard tower and barbed wire, symbolizing captivity and vigilance. Above, bold gothic-style text reads “POW*MIA” with a star separating the acronyms; below, the phrase “YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN” arcs along a chain motif, reinforcing commitment to recovery and remembrance. Designed in 1972 by Newton Heisley, it has since become the official symbol for U.S. efforts to account for missing personnel.

Widely displayed at military installations, veterans’ events, government buildings, and memorials, this image supports user intent around honoring fallen or missing service members, educational content about U.S. military history, and advocacy for POW/MIA recognition and resolution.
