Not Forgotten
I have not forgotten you. I chair the Adoption Committee for The National League of Families of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in Southeast Asia. We will always remember the 1,889 Americans still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia and the thousands of others that lost their lives. We will not stop our efforts until all of you are home where you belong.
We need to reach the next generation so that they will carry on when our generation is no longer able. To do so, we are attempting to locate photographs of all the missing. If you are reading this remembrance and have a photo and/or memory of this missing American that you would like to share for our project, please contact me at:

29 Years
My father was reported missing 29 years ago today. I still don't know what happened and still miss him terribly. The sorrow and loneliness are still there in the back of my mind. My mother called this evening to just say that she missed him and needed to talk to someone. It tore me up to listen to her reveal that time DOESN'T heal all wounds! And the not knowing is the worst!
He was a kind, loving man, father, and husband and was taken away from us at a time that should have been spent taking the time to recapture his life(his kids were almost grown up). Instead he went off to fight and die for his country. He was the bravest person I'll ever know and I'm PROUD to be his son!
