POW/MIA GALLERY

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.



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.



Pray for our POW/MIA
