Interesting, huh? Killed/BNR but Died while Missing?



YOU CAN help to make a difference. YOU CAN help let our government officials know that we remember and still care about the fate of our MIA/POW's. You CAN do this by taking a moment and emailing these people.... and asking them what they are doing NOW to facilitate the return of our people to the land that they loved enough to give their all for without question...
