POW/MIA

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio -- Eighty-six pairs of boots surround the semi-circle flag pole area at the Air Force Reserve's 445th Airlift Wing headquarters building. Each pair of boots represents 86 Ohioans still unaccounted for from the Vietnam era. The 87th pair of desert boots in the middle of the circle represents Pfc. Matt Maupin who is still missing from Operation Iraqi Freedom. On the right boot is his rank and name and on the left is his hometown in Ohio. Each pair of boots is tied together and is adorned with a small American flag and POW/MIA flag crossed and tied with a small yellow ribbon. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Ted Theopolos).
