The National Prisoner of War Museum in Andersonville, Georgia is the nation's only POW museum.
It has exhibits from every war from Revolutionary times to the present day.
Former POWs built the museum to honor their fellow prisoners.
Saturday, the museum held their annual national POW/MIA recognition ceremony.
The event included a flyover by Seahawk helicopters and a ride by the Rolling Thunder Bike Club.
"It's being able to see, to live part of the lives that they went through to hear the stories," says volunteer Kevin Frye. "You can press buttons and listen to the words in their own mouths of what they went through and just realize the sacrifices the veterans have made for us."
The museum's site was chosen because it was the country's largest POW camp during the Civil War.
