I was honored to attend a ceremony commemorating National POW/MIA Recognition Day last Friday at the Kane County Veterans Memorial in Geneva. Thank you to everyone who attended, including members of American Legion Posts 75 and 342 and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 693.
Thanks to Bill and Traci Wood for the invitation to this ceremony, which helped raise public awareness for the over 81,000 service members who are still missing and unaccounted for from all past conflicts and wars. Bill and Traci’s uncles, Air Force Maj. Ronald Mayercik and Thomas Pilkington of the U.S. Navy, are still missing in action from the Vietnam War.
