The National POW/MIA Memorial at Riverside National Cemetery stands as a solemn and enduring tribute to the courageous service members of the United States who were held as Prisoners of War (POWs) and those who remain Missing in Action (MIA). It honors the sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering spirit of these individuals and preserves the promise that they will never be forgotten.
Set within the tranquil and dignified landscape of Riverside National Cemetery — one of the nation’s largest and busiest national cemeteries — the memorial serves as a sacred space for reflection, remembrance, and collective gratitude. Its presence underscores the deep respect owed to those who endured captivity, hardship, or uncertainty in service to their nation, and to the families who have lived with the pain of loss and unanswered questions.
