Greetings Veterans and Fellow Patriots:

After 80 years MIA, Idaho soldier Lt. Charles Atteberry laid to rest in Parma

After 80 years missing in action, Idaho soldier Lt. Charles S. Atteberry was recently identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency using DNA technology and is now officially accounted for.

On Monday, October 3, 2025, his remains were buried at the Lower Boise Cemetery in Parma, next to his parents.
Welcome Home Lt. Atteberry, Welcome Home!

On September 19, we held our annual National POW/MIA Recognition Day Ceremony. We would like to thank those who made this possible: Mayor Brian Blad, Mayor Kevin England, Senator Crapo’s Representative Farhana Hibbert, the Civil Air Patrol, the VFW Post 1, and special guest, bugler, Heather Petrella.

The POW*MIA Awareness Association Fall Colors Ride was Saturday, September 27th. It was about 320 miles of good times with a great turnout and beautiful colors. Ashlee Fitzen said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better lunch stop at Samson’s Island Grill. Thank you for feeding us.”

We hope to see all of you at our October General Membership meeting this Friday, October 17th at 7pm at Liberty Hall, 325 W. Benton, Pocatello. We will discuss upcoming events such as the Homeless Stand Down and POW/MIA Memorial Hwy 26 clean up. Both events take place on Saturday, October 18th. Also, fast approaching is the 2025 Veteran’s Gala. Show up Friday to find out more about these exciting events.

Keep an eye on the calendar and Facebook for all of our events.

Thank you,
POW*MIA Awareness Rally Association – Pocatello
