H.B.0062S01 (Utah)…DISPLAY OF PRISONER OF WAR AND
MISSING IN ACTION FLAG
This bill was passed (unanimous vote)
in both the House and Senate floors on 03/01/2013. It was signed by Governor
Herbert on 03/26/2013 with an effective date of 05/14/2013. By Utah Legislative
statute, the POW/MIA flag will be raised…will fly …at all outdoor flag poles at
the Utah Capitol Hill complex annually… on six dates;
Armed Forces Day,
the third Saturday in May;
Memorial Day, the last Monday in May;
Flag
Day, June 14; Independence Day,
July 4; Veteran’s Day,
November 11; and
National POW/MIA Recognition Day, the third Friday in
September.
Saturday,
May 18, 2013 is Armed Forces Day---2013. On that day, the great State of Utah
will become the sixth state in these United Fifty States to have enacted
Legislation in support of the 1998 Federal statute designating the POW/MIA flag
as…(quoting from that statute)… "The symbol of our Nation's concern and
commitment to resolving as fully as possible the fates of America’s unaccounted
for --- thus ending the uncertainty for their families and for the Nation". This
U.S. Public law mandates that the POW/MIA flag… shall be flown at the Capital...
and the White House…annually on the same (above) six dates.
Let no American…
let no Utahan… forget… our national freedoms come at a heavy cost.
Far---far---too many Americans know very little about our government’s
unwavering commitment to resolving the POW/MIA issue…nor do they know the
significance of why… the black and white POW/MIA flag is flown on the same pole
as our national colors. America’s unaccounted-for veterans must not become the
"forgotten ones" in Utah history; nor should their beloved families.
