Bill > HR3057

This bill designates the POW/MIA Memorial and Museum in Jacksonville, Florida, as the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum, recognizing its significance in honoring the approximately 142,000 service members who have been prisoners of war and the roughly 82,000 still missing in action since World War II. The museum aims to provide a comprehensive and interactive educational experience that tells the stories of prisoners of war and those missing in action, showcasing their history and providing a reflective space for families. The bill requires the museum's director to submit a detailed report to Congress within 90 days of enactment, including a five-year budget, organizational structure, bylaws, and accreditation information. The national designation can be withdrawn if the museum is not operating satisfactorily within five years or if the required report is not submitted on time. The museum will be located on a 26-acre area in Jacksonville and will feature exhibits designed to attract and educate diverse audiences about the experiences of POWs and those missing in action, while also highlighting the history of the POW/MIA logo and the Naval Air Station Cecil Field.
