POW Medal Presentation

Francine Munster shows Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III an album containing historical documents and photographs following a POW Medal ceremony, April 30, 2014, at the Pentagon. Munster is the daughter of Col. James Mahafee, who was posthumously awarded the medal. Mahafee and eight other World War II aviators were recognized during the ceremony. The bomber crew members were shot down while flying missions over Germany and were held in a prison camp in Wauwilermoos, Switzerland. For decades, the men were denied POW status.
