Our first LIVE event in Madison is coming on Friday, September 16.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 IS NATIONAL POW-MIA RECOGNITION DAY. In honor of this day and in honor of this country’s 82,000 MIA service members, the UW MIA Recovery and Identification Project is proud to present COMING HOME: A LIVE Concert for Our Missing Heroes.

The event will bring together local bands Frank Martin Busch and the Names, Jackie Marie and the Band, and Marcy and the Highlights for a night of music, awareness, raffles, and fun in support of the UW MIA Project’s mission. There will also be presentations by National VFW Vice Commander, Al Lipphardt, and State of Wisconsin VFW Commander, Michele Rathke, Major General (Ret.) Tim Zadalis, and Team Lead for the UW MIA Project, Charles Konsitzke.

The event will be held at VFW Post 7591 (301 Cottage Grove Rd, Madison, WI 53716) from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Come at 5:00 PM for Friday Fish Fry and stay for the music!
