Today the black and white POW-MIA flag with its silhouette of a bowed head set against a guard tower and a single strand of barbed wire serves as a national symbol and a challenge to a country not to forget. Since its inception in the early 1970s, the POW-MIA flag has had a career of its own. Its design has been copied on everything from bumper stickers to belt buckles, and these items have been used as fundraisers for many veterans' causes. On March 9, 1989, an official League POW-MIA flag was installed in the U.S. Capital Rotunda where it stands as a powerful symbol of national commitment to America's POW/MIAs. It is the only flag ever to be honored in this way. On August 10, 1990, Congress passed US Public Law 101-355, which officially recognized the League's POW-MIA flag on November 18, 1997. President Clinton signed into law the 1998 Defense Authorization Act. A section of that act requires that the POW-MIA flag be flown from Military Installations, National Cemeteries, V. A. Medical Centers, and many other Federal Buildings. It remains one of the most popular organizational flags flown in the United States, selling in the tens of thousands every year.
