Frequently Asked Questions about our Black Flag POW/MIA 

 

Read our FAQ to learn about the history and significance of the US POW/MIA black flag.

1. What is the history and meaning behind the POW/MIA flag? 

 

Mrs. Michael Hoff, the wife of a missing soldier and member of the National League of POW/MIA families, created the idea for the POW/MIA flag in 1971. To learn more about the history of the POW/MIA flag, read our blog, "The POW MIA Flag History and Meaning."

 

2. What are the official flag-flying days for the POW/MIA flag?  

 

The Defense Authorization Act requires certain government agencies fly the POW/MIA black flag six days of the year: Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day (the third Friday in September) and Veterans Day.  

 

3. Who must display the POW/MIA flag during flag flying days?  

 

The White House, US Capitol, the State Department, the Department of Defense, major military installations, all federal cemeteries and US post offices, and the Department of Veterans Affairs must display the POW/MIA black flag on the official flag-flying days. The World War II, Korean War Veterans, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial are required by law to fly the flag daily. 

 

4. Which fabric should I buy for my POW/MIA black flag?  

 

Our black flag POW/MIA come in polyester and nylon styles. We recommend flying nylon if you live in an area with mild to moderate weather. Nylon is a lightweight fabric that dries quickly and resists mold and mildew for long-lasting outdoor displays. Those who live in areas with harsh weather should fly a polyester flag. Polyester flags’ heavy-duty construction can withstand high winds for spectacular outdoor flag displays on the coast or mountains. Carrot-Top carries double-sided and single-sided polyester POW/MIA flags 

 

5. Should I buy a double or single-sided black flag POW/MIA?  

 

Single-sided POW/MIA flags print with a single-reverse finish. That means only one side is printed, but the image bleeds through the back of the flag. Double-sided flags involve printing two flags and then sewing them together with a third piece of material between to create a picture that reads correctly on both flag sides. We recommend single-sided flags for areas with light winds, as double-sided flags tend to be heavier and not fly as easily. Check out our double-sided nylon POW/MIA flag if you are interested in purchasing a double-sided flag.
