The President has designated today as National POW/MIA Recognition Day.

The United States does not leave anyone behind, and we do not forget those who remain missing. We will never stop working to bring home those who gave everything for their country, nor cease in our pursuit of the fullest possible accounting for all who are missing. We are working to fulfill this promise by strengthening communication with the families of those service members missing or taken prisoner. And as Commander in Chief, I am committed to living up to this responsibility.

The men and women of our Armed Forces face unthinkable conditions and bear the painful cost of war. Theirs is a debt we can never fully repay, though we will continue striving to remain worthy of their sacrifice. In honor of those who have not yet come home, and the families who struggle with the fear of unknown fate, we renew our fierce commitment to our patriots in uniform and pledge to do everything we can to bring those missing or held prisoner home.

According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) there are still more than 83,000 Americans missing;

Maybe Trump will finally reveal the truth about this.
And JFK
And UFOs
Hillary Clinton is really one of the lizard people and her immunity here on earth is finally waning and she’s going to be revealed before she can take control.
😀 😀 😀

“The United States does not leave anyone behind unless the President has a hot golf game” – there, fixed it.

Nice one. I will add that in recognition of this day and its import to all Americans, the president will be dining with former POWs and their families. Just kidding. I made that up. His published schedule includes no such thing. I would also like to point out that the US gov’t has been derelict in its professed (oBaMa: “We will never stop working to bring home those who gave everything for their country…”) and solemn duty to find and repatriate the remains of many of our Fallen. BTW, shouldn’t the president refer to “our” country in that line, not “their?”

My only wish is that our dear leader be at the bottom of that list.

RIP Brothers & Sisters, wherever you lie. You’re missing but have never been forgotten. Thank you for your sacrifice.

The story line is true. My father came home after 28 years in the jungles of Burma.
