The City of Cheyenne recognizes the sacrifice of all American servicemen and women who have given their lives and those whose whereabouts remain unknown and also recognize POW-MIA family members who continue to carry the burden of their personal loss. The number of American MIAs from all U.S. wars exceeds 81,000.
