| Advocacy & Intelligence POW-MIA |
The Advocacy & Intelligence Index for POWs-MIAs. This is one of the best places in the world
for POW/MIA information. Be sure to bookmark the InterNetwork which is a page of current POW-MIA news that's posted on
a daily basis. Besides current daily news, you will find reports, testimony, statements, depositions, documents,
articles, lists, updates and announcements on POWs and MIAs from all wars. AIIPOW-MIA is a huge archive site.
Special thanks to Andi Wolos and Bob Necci for this great site !
The POW Network is another great Internet
site for POW/MIA resources that's jam packed with information. They have biographies on Vietnam and later POWs & MIAs that are reported
better than the DoD file info. You will find names and statistics on all POWs since Vietnam, and an extensive section
reporting on Veteran and Military Service fakes, frauds, and phonies. Since 1989, the POW Network has
been dedicated to information distribution on our Prisoners of War and Missing in Action. Chuck and Mary Schantag have been good
friends to Rolling Thunder and POW activists, and we appreciate all their help and hard work so much ! Be
sure and check out the Phonies section...
you will be amazed at how many there are.

National Alliance of Families For the Return of America's Missing Servicemen
is an organization of activist POW and MIA family members. You can find information on all kinds of POW/MIA issues at
this site. They have an excellent email update called Bits 'N' Pieces. If you would like to receive their newsletter by e-mail, let them know at
lynn@nationalalliance.org and ask to be added to the distribution list.
The site of the Defense Prisoner of War / Missing Personnel Office (DPMO).
There's information at this site in database form on POWs and MIAs from Korea, Cold War and Vietnam. A
"News" page has some valuable links.
Also check out their POW Recognition Day page for downloadable posters.
Very disappointing that
DPMO doesn't do more in resolving the question of what happened to our POWs known to be alive rather than concentrating mainly
on remains recovery. They have done a GREAT job of remains recovery, but their "Vision" is stated as: "Develop, implement, and maintain a joint system for live recovery of isolated personnel,
rapid post-hostility accounting and remains identification."
LIVE RECOVERY ? So where are the
POWs that were held by the Pathet Lao and not released during Operation Homecoming ? How come the only "live recovery"
(Bobby Garwood) was not debriefed as an intelligence source upon his return ? Where is Scott Speicher and why
was he abandoned ? We deserve more than we are getting from this agency funded by our tax dollars and a part of
OUR government. We need some accountability ! Questions need to be answered.
The DPMO mission is "to achieve the fullest possible
accounting of our missing in action -- from all wars". Case-specific information from DPMO, both classified and
unclassified, is available to the primary next-of-kin of our missing Americans... but are the families getting ALL the information
they are entitled to under the law ? See the next link: " NO TRUTH ? ~ NO HONOR ! ".
During the Senate Select Committee on
the Prisoner of War and Missing In Action hearings that adjourned in 1993, the Central Intelligence Agency supplied tens of
thousands of documents for the Select Committee to review.
Despite numerous Presidential Executive Orders to declassify
all POW/MIA documentation by all government agencies, the Central Intelligence Agency has not complied.
Under the Freedom
of Information Act, a suit was filed by Roger with the backing and support of Col. Ted Guy (former POW) and Carol Hrdlicka (wife of abandoned POW David Hrdlicka), and others to force the Agency to comply with the law.
It has been a long and uphill struggle, but with your help Roger will one day be successful.
The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast
Asia's sole purpose is to obtain the release of all prisoners, the fullest possible accounting for the missing and repatriation
of all recoverable remains of those who died serving our nation during the Vietnam War. Their "Update Line" is helpful with current information.
