everything they are war heroes
During World War II, approximately 140,000 American soldiers were captured and became prisoners of war (POWs). The majority of these POWs were held in Europe and the Pacific, facing harsh conditions and difficult treatment. The number of American POWs varied throughout the conflict, with many being liberated as the war came to an end in 1945.

What was the Pows?
world war 1
As of my last update in October 2023, there are no known living Prisoners of War (POWs) or Missing in Action (MIA) personnel from conflicts like the Vietnam War, as the last recognized POWs returned home in the 1970s. However, there may still be ongoing efforts to identify remains and account for individuals listed as MIA from various conflicts, but these cases involve deceased individuals rather than living POWs. For the most current statistics, it's best to consult official sources like the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA).
