Preserving History. Inspiring Understanding. Honoring Service.

Education is one of the National POW/MIA Memorial & Museum's most important missions. Every lesson, photograph, artifact, document, and personal story helps ensure that the sacrifices of America's Prisoners of War, those who remain Missing in Action, and the families who continue to seek answers are never forgotten.

Our educational materials cover the history of American conflicts, the meaning of the POW/MIA symbol, the ongoing mission to account for those still missing, the legacy of Naval Air Station Cecil Field, and the individuals whose courage and sacrifice continue to inspire future generations.
