Department of Maine, Headquarters Campus in Winslow, Maine
The American Legion Family, Department of Maine has joined together in a joint project to build a POW/MIA Memorial at The American Legion Family Maine Headquarters. This memorial is to honor and remember the 480 Mainers who are still unaccounted for*. Each missing Mainer will have a brick listing their name, branch of service, and war conflict.
Please help us keep these hero’s memories alive with this memorial.
They have given the ultimate sacrifice For God and Country.
Never Forgotten. Always Remembered.
You can sponsor a permanent brick for the POW/MIA Memorial. Each brick is $50.00 and can be sponsored thru an American Legion Post, American Legion Auxiliary Unit, a Sons of the American Legion Squadron, or an American Legion Riders Chapter within the State of Maine.
You may sponsor a specific name or someone from your area or you can choose to have us pick who you sponsor. Only one brick per name is available and the name must come from the official list of Maine Missing POW/MIA’s that we have compiled*. Names are available on a first come basis. However, all missing Mainers need to be remembered with a brick so we will select an available name if yours is not available and we will notify you of such. The Official List of The American Legion Family, Dept. of Maine’s Missing for the POW/MIA Memorial can be found at: www.maineala.org
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
