POW/MIA Remembrance Ribbon Pin
The design
On the pin
A ribbon-shaped pin in black enamel with a silver-tone edge and a white loop center. A gray banner across the tails reads NEVER FORGET in white capitals.
What it means
Black has long been the color of remembrance for prisoners of war and those missing in action. The POW/MIA flag, designed in 1971 for the National League of POW/MIA Families, carries the motto You Are Not Forgotten, and this ribbon says the same thing in two words.
Colors and finish
Black enamel with silver tone looks formal and sober. The gray banner sets the white lettering apart from the black without adding a bright color.
