At a loss for words? Not sure what to tell
the President or your Congressman? Well, here are three examples that you
can use in their entirety (just copy and paste), or use parts of them to
construct your own letter.
Example #1:
"Dear Senator, what is being done to determine
the fate of Sfc Daniel R Phillips-USASF, who was last seen fighting his
way through the perimeter during the seige of LangVei on 2/7/68? No remains
were ever found although there was an intensive search of the area later
on, and no one saw him fall. There is no evidence that he was killed and
he is known to have been capable of surviving under harsh conditions. Please
advise me of any action that is being taken by you or any other elected
appointed official to determine his fate.
In the event there is nothing being done, please
explain why not, and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and
prevent it from ever happening again."
Example #2:
Dear Sir, I am attaching the pertinent information
on Col Harold Kahler, of Lincoln, Nebraska. Col Kahler has been missing
in action since 1969!! We want to make you aware that his family, his friends,
and myself, one among many to take up the Cause, find this an outrage,
and completely unacceptable. I demand that you take a bit of time to look
into this matter--to help us find the Col, and if not to return him safely
to his family, then to put this issue to rest once and for all. It is appalling
to think you have given up on a human life. An American human life! One
who bravely and selflessly fought for YOUR freedom.
I shall tiredlessly continue to inquire in
his behalf until my questions have been satisfied."
Example #3:
"Dear Sir, What is being done to determine
the fate of Col Harold Kahler, USAF, who was last seen over Sam Neua, Laos,
June 14, 1969?
This is an American pilot who has remained
on the MIA list for 28 years. Doesn't his devotion to his country award
him the priviledge and honor of being buried in his own homeland soil if
he is in fact deceased? Should, by any miracle, Kahler remain alive, should
he be left behind in a foreign country knowing his country abandoned him?
Do his family and loved ones not deserve to know the fate of their son,
brother, friend and loved one nor be allowed to put a closure to this after
so many years?
Please advise me of any action that is being
taken by you or any other elected or appointed official to determine his
fate. In the event there is nothing being done, please explain why not,
and tell me how you personally plan to correct this and prevent it from
ever happening again."
Actions of Our Elected Officials:
April 3, 1973: Pathet Lao (Laotian Communist)
forces declare they are holding more than 100 American POWs and are prepared
to give a full accounting of them The U.S. government responds 9 days later
declaring they are all dead -- without ever talking to the Laotians about
the POWs they admit holding!
1970-1976: After the French pay an unspecified
sum of money to the Vietnamese, the communists release POWs captured in
1954! The North Vietnamese had claimed all of then had died.
August 19, 1986: The Wall Street Journal
reports the White House knew in 1981 Vietnam wanted to sell an unspecified
number of live POWs for $4 billion. The White House decided the offer was
genuine -- and ignored it!
September 30, 1986: The New York Times
reports a Pentagon panel estimates up to 100 live American POWs are held
in Vietnam alone.
October 7, 1986: CIA Director William
Casey says: "Look, the nation knows they (the POWs)are there, everybody
knows they are there, but there's no grounds well of support for getting
them out. Certainly, you are not suggesting we pay for them, surely not
saying we could do anything like that with no public support."
January 1988: A cable from the Joint
Casualty Resolution Center states that during General Vessey's visit to
Hanoi, "The Vietnamese people were prepared to turn over 7 or 8 live American
POWs if Vessey told then what they wanted to hear. All the prospective
returnees were allegedly held in a location on the Lao side of the border."
September 1990: The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee's Interim Report on POW/MIA's in Southeast Asia concluded that
despite public assurances in 1973 that no POWs remained in the region,
the Defense Department ". . . in April 1974 concluded beyond a doubt that
several hundred American POWs remained in captivity in Southeast Asia."
October 1990: Vietnamese Foreign Minister
Nguyen Co Thach admits Vietnam still holds American POWs but is willing
to release "as many as 10 live American POWs." His offer, like others before
it, is ignored by Secretary of State James Baker III.
February 1991: Colonel Millard Peck,
Chief of the Pentagon's Special Office for Prisoners of War and Missing
in Action, resigns in protest of being ordered by policy makers in the
POW/MIA Inter-Agency Group not to investigate live-sighting reports of
American POWs!
April 25, 1991: Senator Bob Smith addresses
the Senate and reveals that, of more than 1,400 eyewitness sightings of
live POWs, NONE has ever received an on-site investigation!
May 23, 1991: The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee's Examination of U.S. Policy Toward POW/MIAs concludes that the
U.S. has ignored thousands of American POWs, and left them to rot in Soviet
slave labor camps and North Korean and Vietnamese prisons. "Any evidence
that suggested an MIA might be alive was uniformly and arbitrarily rejected."
Summer 1991: A flood of new evidence
of live POWs pours from Southeast Asia: pictures, handwriting samples,
hair samples, blood samples, fingerprints, foot-prints, maps and other
physical proof. The Bush administration disregards the evidence and attempts
to discredit it by rumor and innuendo. Some of the photos are scientifically
validated -- and have never been scientifically disproven!
All these facts are a matter of public record
and clearly indicate that we have some serious problems in the POW/MIA
arena that our elected officials refuse to acknowledge.
