Foglesong named to joint commission on POW/MIAs
President George W. Bush has announced his intention to designate Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong, president of Mississippi State, a member of the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs.
The announcement was made April 25 by the White House.
The commission, which was formed in 1992 and meets annually, is a Defense Department effort through which both nations seek to locate missing servicemen. It is organized into four working groups related to conflicts from World War II to the Cold War.
Foglesong retired Feb. 1 as commander, United States Air Force Europe, and was named president of MSU March 28. During his 33-year military career he held positions that also included vice commander of the U.S. Air Force, and he has flown most aircraft in the U.S. inventory.
