WE
MUST NEVER FORGET OUR POW/MIA and
will strive to obtain a full accounting until they
have all returned home. It is the obligation of
our government, our elected officials, to BRING
THEM ALL HOME! The POW/MIA issue is one of the primary
focuses of the National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans
Coalition and we will continue to support legislation
and renew dialogue with government officials and
committee members.
Our POW/MIA gallery is a reminder of those
who still have not been returned. Our gallery
Memorial Page has been designed as a tribute to
those POW/MIA whose remains have been returned
and whose identities have been confirmed.
Please refer to DPMO's
website for the most current, updated information
on the POW/MIA issue, especially for the latest
on remains recovery and a listing of the names
whose remains have been repatriated.

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Subject:
Former Congressman asks for tribunal to
investigate McCain, PACOM/JPAC brass
Here is some big
breaking news on the live POW front that
many believe is long overdue.
It is my understanding that former Congressman
Billy Hendon (R-NC) filed such a request
at the State Department in Washington
this morning. As seen at ww.enormouscrime.com
, Hendon is requesting that the tribunal
be established to investigate Sen. McCain's
and PACOM/JPAC officials' repeated refusal
to go with him and former Congressman
John LeBoutillier (R-NY) and the press
to conduct a fully transparent LSI of
a confirmed underground prison for American
POWs in Hanoi. Again, you can read Billy's
formal request and view the supporting
documents that accompanied it at his website,
www.enormouscrime.com .
It seems appropriate to mention here that
on October 4, 1984, as executive director
of the RELEASE Foundation, I spoke to
then Representative John McCain when I
went to Babylon, New York to endorse Paul
Anabolli who was the Republican congressional
candidate for that district. Of course
my question to him was related to what
he intended to do about American prisoners
of war who were still held by the Vietnamese
communists. His response was that if he
were given proof that our men were still
held, he would take his plane and attack
Hanoi himself. Well since then Johnny
McCain has done everything in his power
to bury the truth about American servicemen
who were abandoned as prisoners of the
communist government of North Vietnam,
it is time that he be taken to task for
violation of the Code of Conduct.

Why is there no news coverage
of prisoner of war (POW) Bowie Berghdal?
Click on the link below for more on him.
Is he in Afghanistan or another country?
Is his picture shown to our troops in
Afghanistan in case they see him with
some Afghanis? Does anyone care that we
have live POW who is abandoned by the
news media? I do hope there is an effort
to free him. He may already have been
found to be expendable since he is just
a soldier. I do hope that someone does
care about him and will make an effort
see him free. What would happen if he
was a child of the president? I want the
same effort made to free POW Bergdahl.
He is as important as the president's
child or the child of any political figure.
He needs to come home.

Is Afghanistan POW Bowe R. Bergdahl Not

LETTER
FROM MAJOR MARK SMITH, USA
We swore after Vietnam:NEVER
AGAIN! Yet,once again brave men are left to rot
in a far away land.Why? Because,we are a gutless
and uncaring society. Any lame explanation will
do and we will say:" Well that is it, they
are all dead." We are so worried about treating
their leaders we capture right? If there is a
smidgen of evidence they know what happened to
our brave men, stress them mightily until they
talk. Those crying the most about how we treat
the enemy did not care one whit when the Vietnamese
were brutalizing us. Our good men are more important
than "creature comforts" or Korans for
our enemies.Ours were Soldiers and their's are
specifically denied rights under the Law Of Land
Warfare. They were and are hostage takers and
terrorists.Time for us to care for our own and
throw out of office anyone who even mentions the
rights of our enemies,without speaking first about
our own.I am a former POW and I understand fully
the implications of my words. So hear this! I
do not want to hear again how that bunch of yahoo
MPS were "torturing" anybody.They were
acting in an undisciplined and childish way.They
have been punished.I do not want to hear about
civil courts for a bunch of non-uniformed terrorists.
That they were even captured and not shot outright
was the only gift they should be getting.We shoot
or hang spies and those who use the civilian population
as a shield.At least we used to.Our men deserve
to be recovered and any amount of pressure which
must be applied to these evil spouting zealots
to get these good folk's relatives home,one way
or another, is justified.Allow no politician to
speak again of the rights our terrorist enemies
enjoy."Secret Prisons"? I hope we have
fifty of them and we are drugging them or whatever
and getting answers.Our priority has to get back
to Americans and their well being. If the above
offends you,well screw you to. I am tired of opinions.I
want this mans family member accounted for.In
keeping with the silly bull of today:
" I am Major Mark A. (ZIPPO) Smith and I
approved this damn message"! Mark

If family
members or friends of a POW/MIA whose remains
have been both returned and confirmed, wish to
let us know that their loved ones have been fully
accounted for, please submit the name, rank, capture
date, return date, and service for your loved
one and we will post the information here.
Until all of our POW/MIA
are fully accounted for we will continue to keep
pressing for their freedom, their returned remains,
and will keep them in our prayers.
