The black and white POW-MIA flag with its silhouette of a bowed head set against a guard tower and a single strand of barbed wire serves as a national symbol and a challenge to a country not to forget. In 1970 Mrs. Mary Hoff, an MIA wife, recognized the need for a symbol for our POW/MIAs. After contacting Annin, Mrs. Hoff found VP of Sales Norman Rivkkes, who in turn contracted graphic designer Newt Heisley. Following the League’s approval, Annin manufactured the POW-MIA flags for distribution. On March 9, 1989, an official League POW-MIA flag was installed in the U.S. Capital Rotunda. It is the only flag ever to be honored in this way. On August 10, 1990, Congress passed US Public Law 101-355 which recognized the League’s POW-MIA flag on November 18, 1997. President Clinton signed the 1998 Defense Authorization Act. A section of that act requires that the POW-MIA flag be flown from Military Installations, National Cemeteries, V. A. Medical Centers and many other Federal Buildings.
