Dear Mr. President, When are you going to bring home our sons, our brothers, our fathers? Why has it not been done yet? Our soldiers are rotting over there in prisons, and they think we have forgotten about them. We do so much for all these other countries yet our soldiers are still waiting for us to come and get them. We are waiting for you to do something, to bring home our men. Show us that you have feelings, that you care and do something about this!! NOW!!! BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME!!!
OMELIA, DENNIS WILLIAM
REMARKS: The U6 "Beaver" is an older, fixed wing aircraft of reasonable size (bigger than a "Bird Dog", for instance), rather short and squatty with a somewhat wide body. The aircraft departed Qui Nhon at about 0900 hours on January 3 without filing a proper flight plan, nor was the weather briefing obtained prior to takeoff. About 14 miles southeast of Phu Cat, at 1120 hours, radio and radar contact was lost with the plane. Because Capt. Rhodes had announced plans to remain overnight at Ban Me Thuot, no immediate searches were made. By January 9, when Rhodes and his passengers still had not returned, search efforts were begun at 0900 hours, and continued throughout the day with no sign of the aircraft or its personnel. The area of takeoff was tricky and the weather conditions were not good. Other pilots said that if planes taking off did not reach a safe altitude fast enough, they would crash into a mountain. Cruising speed for the "Beaver" was a mere 106 mph making it a prime target for flak. Conditions in the area indicated that the aircraft was shot down, and several years passed before the crew was finally declared dead.
Evidence mounts that Americans are still alive in Southeast Asia. It is not known for sure if any of the crew of the U6 survived and are among them, but there is no evidence that they are dead. If they survived, they could still be alive. If not, then someone else's brother, son, husband, father is alive. We owe them our very best effort to bring them home.
The American CreedI believe in the United States of AmericaAs a government of the people, by the people, for the people: Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed: A democracy in a republic; A sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; A perfect Union, one and inseparable; Established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity For which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my
country William Tyler Page
