Members of the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTCs honored American prisoners of war and soldiers who are missing in action Friday.

ROTC members traded half-hour shifts in a mock cage from sunup till sundown on the Haley Center Concourse to symbolize POWs.

Members also took half-hour shifts performing the changing of the guard ritual seen at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

The day was completed with a candlelight vigil in front of Samford Hall.

Participants lit candles at sundown to honor the POWs and MIAs.
