The Cass County Composite Squadron Honor Guard was offered a rare opportunity to present the Colors at the national convention of the American Ex-Prisoners of War Organization. C/Capt Kenna Eggenberger, C/SMSgt Luke Wood, C/A1C Malachi Hargis, and C/CMSgt Karra Miller participated in the opening ceremonies and were featured on Kansas City television news. After posting at the banquet Saturday evening, the team performed the POW/MIA Table ceremony. C/CMSgt Karra Miller read “The Empty Table” while C/2Lt Jordan Hargis, C/SSgt Blake Goodman, C/SrA Josh Goodman, C/A1C Zach Goodman, and C/SrA Jonathan Fairchild carried hats from the five military services and placed them on the table. Founded April 14, 1942 the American Ex-Prisoners of War organization has existed for the purpose of helping others. The organization of former POW's (military and civilian), their spouses, families and civilian internees has helped those affected by their capture deal with the trauma through friendship of those who shared a common experience. At the present time, the American Ex-Prisoners of War has over 300 Chapters and State Departments, representing over 27,000 members. |
