This short documentary shares the story of Major Lewis P. Smith II, a Bellefonte native and U.S. Air Force pilot who went missing in action during the Vietnam War. Through his family’s memories and their work to create the POW/MIA Veteran Tribute Courtyard, Echoes of Honor reflects on service, sacrifice, and the resilience of families still waiting for answers. The film was presented during Penn State’s Military Appreciation Week.
