Here is the Current Status of Unaccounted-for Americans Lost in the Vietnam War

Please don't let this day pass by without spending a moment to think about the Prisoners of War and the Missing in Action and their families who still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts that one day they will be found and return home.

They are not forgotten
