In keeping with the President and First Lady’s commitment to honor the sacrifices of all who serve - veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors - the League's POW/MIA flag was restored to its globally recognized position on top of the White House . This action reaffirms our Nation's commitment to account as fully as possible for American Prisoners-of-War and Missing-in-Action, as well as other US personnel still unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War and wars and conflicts further past, thus ending the uncertainty of their families.

THE MEN ARE THE MISSION.......
The number of Americans Missing and Unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War was announced in late September as 1,582. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) released very little information regarding the initial recovery or circumstances that led to the August 23, 2022, identifications of US Army soldiers SSGT Sanford Finger and PFC Thomas Green! It is assumed these two IDs are the result of DPAA's Vietnam War Identification Initiative, recently formed to review previously recovered, long stored remains that were unidentifiable at the time.
It appears DPAA's Lab is now applying state-of-the-art scientific processes ...........as long promised

We Need Your Help!
The League needs your support to sustain and increase efforts to account for America’s unreturned Vietnam War Veterans. We MUST ensure that the Department of Defense (DoD) includes additional funding for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). You can help make this happen! Contact your Senators about the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2023 (S. 4543), starting October 1st. The Senate has not yet voted on the FY2023 DoD budget but plans to increase DoD’s overall allocation without slating additional funds for the DPAA. Additional funding is needed to ensure the Vietnam War accounting effort remains the priority that the DPAA Director pledged to the POW/MIA families. Please join us in this fight for answers. Contact your Senators NOW, before they vote on S. 4543, asking them to increase the DPAA budget from $131 million to $175 million. You can make this happen with only a few minutes of your time. Please join us! Call, email or write to your Senators asking them to increase DPAA’s budget for FY2023 and help bring more UNRETURNED Vietnam War Veterans home!! |
