A prisoner of war (POW), missing in action (MIA) table is on display in the Training Auditorium at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida during a Veterans Day observance event on Nov. 7, 2019. The event began with a POW MIA ceremony, followed by an awards recognition, naming Kennedy a Purple Heart Entity by the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Kennedy is the first NASA center to receive this designation for support and services provided to veterans through the spaceport’s Veterans employee resource group. Attendees included Kennedy employees and more than 20 Purple Heart recipients. Following the award presentation, Christopher Vedvick, a combat wounded veteran and Military Order of the Purple Heart department of Florida commander, spoke about his experience serving in the United States Army before retiring, his involvement in the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the purpose of the organization.
