Remembering our Heroes
America's Greatest Hero's
Each wreath honors all servicemen and women for their self-less sacrifice - and that of their families who are without loved ones during the holidays.
You are not forgotten
In 1971, while the Vietnam war was still being fought , Mary hoff, the wife of a service member missing in action and member of the National League of Families of American prisoners and missing in southeast Asia, recognized the need for a symbol of U.S. POW/MIAs, some of whom had been held in captivity for as many as seven years.
The flag is black and bears in the center , in black and white, the emblem of the League. The emblem was designed by Newt Heisley, and features a white disk bearing the black silhouette the bust of a man (Jeffery Heisley), watch tower with a guard on patrol and a strand of barbed wire; above the disk are the white letters POW and MIA framing a white 5 pointed star; below the disk is a black and white wreath above the white motto: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
And that is the message that wreaths across America would share with all veterans. From one generation to another, we will NEVER FORGET that the freedoms we enjoy came at such a great cost.

"No one should pass an American in uniform without saying, "Thank you, we are grateful". Always mindful that they are prepared to risk all of their dreams so that all of us can reach ours
