Commander Keane led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Resolution 288 was recited by Commander Keane. (Resolution 288: Adopted at the 67th National Convention calls for designating a POW/MIA empty chair at all official meetings of the American Legion as a physical symbol of the 1000's of American POW/MIA's still unaccounted for from WWII to present. At this time the SGT at Arms will place the POW/MIA flag on the empty chair, a reminder for all of us to spare no effort to secure the release of any American prisoner, the return of remains of those who died bravely in the defense of liberty and a full accounting of those missing.
