POW/MIA honored during 24-hour run at America’s Airfield
Col. Sharon Bannister, 79th Medical Wing commander, speaks to a group of Airmen and Sailors during the POW/MIA opening ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, Md., Sept. 15, 2016. Bannister told the story of her father, a military member who was labeled missing in action in March 1972 during the Vietnam War. She described the feeling of uncertainty trailing the disappearance of her father and shared the sense of closure she felt almost 35 years later when an excavation team found his remains.
