Spangdahlem's base honor guard performs a special tribute to prisoners of war, and those missing in action or killed in action, during the POW/MIA breakfast at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, Sept. 8, 2017. The event was held one week before National POW/MIA Recognition Day, an annual U.S. observance that falls on the third Friday in September to remember service men and women who have never returned home from armed conflicts.
