Bring Them Home

It is sad, but true... that we live in a country who has not brought all of it's warriors home. I just recently did a public speech about the WWII Memorial in DC that is being built, and informed my audience of the several thousand men who died as POW's on foreign soil, and of those still missing.

This page is dedicated to them. This is not a memorial. Who's to say any of them are dead? We cannot give up the search. I ask you not as a Marine, but as an American to help us bring back our brothers. Any site dedicated to that cause will be linked here.

Before you go to the links, I have some numbers I would like for you to look at. So you can see just how serious of a problem this is. It's bad enough we have 1... any more than that, should be considered unexceptable.
