Welcome to the Minnesota POW/MIA Riders Association
A Man is not Dead until he is Forgotten...
Minnesota POW/MIA Riders Association
The Minnesota POW/MIA Riders Association is a not for profit organization run by a board of directors and Volunteers. Our motto is "We will never forget!"
Our Main goal is to keep POW/MIA issues in the public eye. While most people think of Vietnam when they hear about POW/MIA issues, the truth is there are servicemen from every American conflict that fall into these categories including the war in Iraq. We believe that this is important to do all we can to account for missing servicemen and women from all wars and conflicts.
