Memorial to Middleboro s only POW/MIA soldier updated with new picture frame
Bob Lessard
Recently, Wareham Street resident Bob Smith created a beautiful heavy wooden black picture frame to house the photo of William Mark Smith, Middleboro’s only Prisoner of War/Missing In Action soldier from the Vietnam War. Smith went missing in a March 1969 incident.
Bob Smith, no relation to William, designed the new frame for the POW/MIA chair displayed in the Town Hall lobby. At the request of Rolling Thunder, a group which advocated awareness of our military members “who have yet to come home.”
Recently, Smith and Chairwoman of the Middleboro Select Board Leilani Dalpe placed the new picture frame on the chair.
