Mark Harris, vice commander American Legion Post 68 in Pittsfield, places the wreath at the POW/MIA table of remembrance at Friday's memorial.

Charles Persip American Legion Post 68 began holding the memorial three years ago.

Post 68 Cmdr. Woody Vaspra says the Defense Department continues to search for the 138,000 missing service members since World War I.

The table of remembrance is symbolic of the prisoner alone, the blood that's been shed and the family waiting for their return.
