TAUNTON, Mass. (WPRI) -- 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. Through prayer and song, the crowd remembers those who made the ultimate sacrifice, gathering around the city's Veterans Memorial on the Church Green. This year's ceremony holds a deeper meaning as Taunton welcomed home the remains of Army Private Joseph Travers, a Korean war soldier and prisoner of war. His family laid the Taunton native to rest on Saturday, and was honored at Sunday's ceremony. Remains of Korean War POW laid to rest in Taunton "He's been missing for seven decades and finally he's come home. Now the family can put that to rest. They know he's buried in the cemetery and he's on united states property," Proulx said. Download the WPRI 12 and Pinpoint Weather 12 apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
