The Air Force Jr. ROTC Saber Team from Alton High School in Alton, Illinois, will honor America's POW's and MIA's with a special ceremony at the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, Illinois.  The event will be held at sunset (7:00 p.m.) on National POW/MIA Remembrance Day (Friday, September 17th).  The "POW/MIA Table Ceremony" pays a distinctive tribute to all POW's and MIA's regardless of branch of service.  The public is invited to this emotional and unique observance that combines the spoken word and music, symbolism and precision drill movements.  Following the service, the table will be left as part of the permanent POW/MIA display at the museum.
 
Admission is free.
