On Monday, March 3, 2025, Dixon Mayor Glen Hughes read a proclamation recognizing that Dixon is officially a POW/MIA City. The Jefferson Barracks POW/MIA Museum in Missouri gives these designations to towns that recognize and honor all U.S. service members who were captured by enemies or are missing in action during the country's conflicts. There are over 80,000 U.S. service members who are prisoners of war or missing in action. (Alex T. Paschal)
