What We Know: College of the Ozarks unveils a new memorial honoring military service members who never made it home.

What It Means: A new POW/MIA Memorial at Patriots Park features a statue of a Vietnam-era prisoner of war and an eternal flame symbolizing hope.

College officials say its secluded location represents the separation between missing service members and their families.

College officials held a dedication ceremony Thursday afternoon.
