Newt Heisley, 88, died at his home in Colorado Springs on May 16. A sketch he drew in 1971 became the famous POW/MIA flag that is displayed across the United States.

In 2005, Heisley told The American Legion Magazine that he made no money off reproductions of the flag. "I didn't get anything, and I don't want anything," he said. "I'm only thinking of the POWs and MIAs. They're not forgotten. That's the main thing."
