LOGO of the TAIWAN POW CAMPS
MEMORIAL SOCIETY

  Our logo - a poppy cross superimposed on a map of Taiwan - was chosen because in the fall of 1998 the returning POWs  laid poppy crosses at all the former campsites they visited.  The poppy cross is recognised worldwide as a symbol of remembrance to war veterans.

In this life…

There are those who make it happen…

Those who watch it happen…

And those who wonder “what the heck happened”.
