Summary

The Travis first sergeants run on the track with the United States and Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flags, Sept. 20, 2018, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Service members, civilians and family members will keep the POW/MIA flag in constant motion for a 24 hour period. Over 1,000 Travis personnel and family members will log over 200 miles, running around the base track, before the final runner carries the flag across the finish line Friday afternoon. According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, at present, more than 82,000 Americans remain missing from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Gulf Wars and other conflicts. During the run Airmen will recite the names of all service members still unaccounted for. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
