YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN, a long ago slogan from a distant war

About the mural: In 1994, Venice, California, located on Pacific Avenue, just south of Rose, Peter Stewart’s dream to create a mural containing the names of every POW/MIA from the Southeast Asia conflict, was was brought to fruition. Until 2016 the mural served as a reminder to the community of those who sacrificed for our country, and as a memorial to a smaller group that never returned home.
