Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the third Friday of September shall be recognized as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day".
HRES 1485 designates the third Friday of September each year as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day" to honor prisoners of war and missing-in-action military personnel. The resolution expresses the House's support for this designation and encourages Americans to observe the day through community commemorations, displaying the POW/MIA flag, and performing acts of service for families of those affected. It does not create new laws or alter existing policies but builds on the existing National POW/MIA Flag Act (Public Law 116-67) that requires the POW/MIA flag to be flown on federal properties. The resolution focuses on symbolic recognition and public engagement rather than substantive policy changes.
