I will continue my search for answers and the truth. I know a lot of you say, these people are not alive anymore. But if there is only one Person alive, would you not want him to come home. Please read W1 WILLIAM PATRICK MILLINER's and 02 Morgan Jefferson Donahue Story's. Don't their Families have the right to know????
If you have any Information on ANY of my adopted Hero's,please let me know.Only together we can bring home these Men.
