Dubbed as the most photographed event in the world, the International Balloon Fiesta is held every year in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There are over 500 balloons that take flight during the week long event. One balloon’s main mission is to provide awareness to the POW (Prisoner of War) and MIA (Missing in Action) warriors that have not come back to United States soil.
