Dozens of people gathered at the Vietnam Memorial Fountain on Church Green in Taunton on Sunday afternoon for the 43rd POW/MIA Remembrance Day.

 

The names of soldiers who are missing in action were read one by one.

For over four decades the Taunton Area Vietnam Veterans Association has come together on the last Sunday of March and held this remembrance ceremony, honoring MIA soldiers, many of them were prisoners of war.

 

“We’re here no matter what. If it rains, snows, sleet. We’re here,” said Dennis Proulx, Vice President of the Vietnam Veterans Association

He is one of the organizers and says the goal is to bring every missing soldier home to Massachusetts.

 

“It’s the least we can do for all the suffering that the families are going through waiting all these years,” Proulx added.
