RICHMOND, VA (Rocktown Now) — Governor Abigail Spanberger has issued a flag order to display the POW/MIA flag today, Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Spanberger states this is in in honor and remembrance of the service and sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces who are or were prisoners of war or reported missing in action.

“On Veterans Day, we pause to honor the generations of men and women who have answered the call to serve and protect the promise of our nation. As we reflect on their sacrifices, we must never forget the service members who are or were prisoners of war or reported missing in action,” said Spanberger. “Their service reminds us that the cost of freedom extends far beyond the battlefield, touching families who have endured uncertainty, loss, and the enduring hope of bringing their loved ones home. On this day, we renew our solemn promise to honor these heroes and remain steadfast in our commitment to a full accounting of every American who has not returned home.”
