"The event, known as a Watch Fire, is a long-standing tradition that symbolizes the hope that all of America’s soldiers held as prisoners of war and those missing in action will find their way home to their loved ones.
“The city of Saint Charles is pleased to provide the only watch fire recognition ceremony in the State of Missouri,” Mayor Dan Borgmeyer said. “As a Vietnam combat veteran, I am honored to assist with this ceremony to help memorialize my fellow veterans and honor their courage and sacrifice.” ~ Mid Rivers Magazine
