Modern-day technology brings peace to many men and women wanting to know what happened to missing persons.

Cadet Aubrea Diehl, a junior and exercise physiology major at VSU, helped to coordinate this year's ROTC commemoration event.

Diehl said the program wanted to depict POW's captured, detained and tortured, stretching through a timeless web of isolated uncertainty.

"In the military, you always have the potential of becoming a prisoner of war," Diehl said. "You are isolated and most of the time tortured."

Diehl said she's spoken with older POW's who recall the hardship of being separated from family.

Stephens said the League of Families aims to keep memories of fallen soldiers alive.

"Dying for freedom isn't the worst that can happen. Being forgotten is," Stephens said.
