Every Thursday Night 7:00
Weekly POW/MIA vigil
(Meredith NH) Every Thursday evening starting at 7:00 p.m. people gather in Hesky Park, located in Meredith, New Hampshire. The Thursday evening Vigils started in August of 1989 in an effort to raise awareness about the abandonment of Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action. The first Vigil lasted 15 minutes; one minute to symbolize each year since the US State Department declared, "There are no more prisoners in Southeast Asia. They are all dead." The vigil now spans 32 minutes. The Meredith POW/MIA Vigil is believed to be the longest consecutively-held vigil in the United States. There has never been a Thursday night Vigil unattended since its inception. Vigil goers have weathered rain, sleet, snow, hail, thunder, lightning, and even temperatures of -37 degrees Fahrenheit.
First Wednesday of every month 7:00PM
Monthly POW/MIA Vigil
Veterans Park, Manchester NH
