The Impact

People identify with love, hope, gratitude, and are emboldened to step forward. Family and community stand together.

How to Research Your Family's MIA

Locating an MIA is possible, profound, and statistically rare. Still, it is very possible to learn more about your family’s MIA through their military records.

Time is Running Out

The remains of our missing in action (MIAs) who fought and died for our freedom are being worn away by time and the elements. Our nation’s promise “to leave no one behind” will be broken without funding to increase the scope and speed of our work.

Educational Initiative

Project Recover is committed to providing unique educational opportunities with real-world applications.

Education Initiative

Education is one of our vision cornerstones. Recent student engagements include high school robotics and classes aboard the USS Midway in San Diego, CA.

Donor's MIA Spotlight

We are grateful for our donors’ support and honor the MIAs in whose memory they contribute with an MIA Spotlight.

Spotlight Your MIA

Donor Spotlight

We value every member of our growing family. Many of our donors have given in memory of someone. To honor them, we created the Donor Spotlight Series. This offers our donors who have given to Project Recover in memory of an MIA or WWII service member a chance to spotlight that person on our website or social media.
