POW/MIA Ceremony

Unveiling the plaque were its key contributors William Price and Art Starratt. The words were inspired by Mr. Price who recounted his feelings while serving in a Japanese POW camp. The image is of Mr. Starratt. "The Germans took a great portrait of me," laughed Mr. Starratt as he made comments to the audience. Starratt was a bombardier on a B-17 and was photographed by German soldiers after he regained consciousness and struggled away from his downed plane. Still in his flight gear, Mr. Starratt's image readily conveys the theme of the park relating to the anguish of prisoners.
