The Press, Atlantic City, N.J.-Sunday, November 18, 1990 B3 PAGE B1 Staff photo. by Michael Ein From left, American Legion County Commander John Donovan, Peggy Menegakis, Legion 254 Commander John Caccioppoli and Master Sgt. Robert Brown raise the commemorative flag Missing: POWs, MIAs remembered in ceremony (Continued from Page B1) POWs and MIAs. "It snaps loudly in the wind and speaks each and every name clearly," she said. A few minutes later, the flag snapped obediently as the names of New Jersey's 62 were read.

Several people attending the flag-dedication ceremony said they did not have relatives or friends who are POWs or MIAs, but they wanted to show their support for those lost in war. "I'm here because I'm a vet- eran," said 36-year-old Robert Stewart of Toms River. "I care about our country, about the POWs and MIAs," Debra Matthews, a 29-year-old Lighthouse patient from Pine Beach said as she shivered in the wind and cold with a friend. "We had a choice to sit inside, but we didn't." After the ceremony, Menegakis pointed out that seven American military people already are missing in Middle East. "It's happening all over again," she said.

Menegakis said her non-profit organization distributes MIA bracelets that people can wear to keep the memory of the missing alive. The bracelets are color-coded by war, and Menegakis said the Vigil Society, which provides partial scholarships to relatives, soon will be coming out with a yellow bracelet. "For Saudi Arabia."
