Houston County Sheriff’s Office receives POW/MIA memorial seat The seat will remain empty as a tribute to prisoners of war and military service members who have not returned home. 24 minutes ago Austin Slocumb , WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The Houston County Sheriff’s Office has received a memorial seat from Rolling Thunder to honor prisoners of war and military service members who remain missing in action. The seat represents prisoners of war and those missing in action. It is intended to remain empty as a tribute to service members who have not returned home. The memorial also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel and those who did not return from deployment. Kathy Jones, president of Rolling Thunder Georgia 3, said the seat helps ensure those service members are not forgotten. “It’s very important because it keeps everyone remembering that our veterans that have served far and beyond are no longer here,” Jones said. “They’re POWs and MIAs. This won’t let them be forgotten. And all the 1,528 that are still missing from the state of Georgia.” Categories : Featured , Houston County , Local News Tags : georgia veterans , Houston County , Houston County Sheriff’s Office , Kathy Jones , Local News , Memorial Seat , MIA , Military Remembrance , missing in action , POW , POW/MIA , Prisoners of War , Rolling Thunder , Rolling Thunder Georgia 3 , veterans , Veterans Day , Warner Robins Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin
