Saturday January 18th, 2020 was celebrated as a huge milestone for the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum as the Prosser | PRIME AE team, board members, family and friends of those missing in action and former prisoners of war, and military veterans alike “turned dirt” at the groundbreaking ceremony for Phase I of the project.
The event was held at the Chapel of the High-Speed Pass, recently earning its historic landmark status within Duval County in 2018. The chapel was packed as speakers including Director of DPAA, Kelly McKeague, designer of the POW/MIA flag, Suzanne Hoff Ogawa, and Chairman of the Board, Captain Sam Houston reinforced the significance of the memorial and museum over stories, tears, and a strong sense of brotherhood.
After the service, Prosser | PRIME AE’s own Shawn Bliss joined the board members, donned with a shovel and hard hat, to officially break ground on the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum. Shawn and the Prosser | PRIME AE team have developed the design for the project and are always taking steps forward towards getting the site built.
