As I look around in my daily travels I have noticed
that so many people have forgotten all about our POW/MIA's. I have seen
this so much that it just breaks my heart. We have left Father's, Brother's,
Uncle's, Friend's, and Son's, behind. We have left them in a foreign country.
A country that many of them had never even heard of prior to being asked
to go. We ask them to go, many of them didn't want to leave home but felt
is was their duty.
These brave men faced things that even in our nightmares
we have never faced. They were called upon to do things that they would
never even consider doing at home. These men saw things that I am sure
a lot of us would never want to see and things that they can never forget.
The worst thing I could think of did happen. We left brave men behind.
These men were fighting for me, for you, for all of us who enjoy our freedom.
The most disturbing comment that I have been told is "They can't still
be alive". Well to all those I say your wrong. The issue seems to be the
time they have been gone. Well, In performing their duties our brave men
liberated prison camps containing men from France, these men had been held
for almost 20 years. Not to mention the evidence that through the years
has been dismissed. Yes I know we still have men there, men that deserve
to come home, men that I will never forget.
The Yellow Ribbon Campaign is our first step of reminding
all those around us and gaining awareness. The problem is that those in
positions who have this information at their fingertips are so busy bickering
amongst themselves and other comities that they have forgotten what they
are there for. They have forgotten that they are supposed to be supporting
the things that are important to us.
These brave men and their families are what we are here
for. They are our Brothers and we fight for our family. This campaign is
our tool to get the ball rolling. A simple act with very little effort
starts it rolling. Soon people will start asking questions, discussing
and talking. As this picks up momentum the ball that we put in motion will
begin to get the attention of others. It will not stop. As it picks up
momentum until all those around us and all those around them will start
asking the questions. With our thunderous roar the message will reach those
who have this information at there fingertips. They will begin asking questions.
The questions that never should have left there lips. Full
Accounting NOTHING Less. Let's bring these heroes home where they belong,
where they should be. We will with this small step shout it from the mountain
tops, We Will Never Forget and we refuse to let them forget.
