Remember – Americans still missing and unaccounted-for from the Vietnam War need the strong, unified voice of our nation’s VSOs to support them and their families. Working together with the US and relevant foreign counterpart governments, we will obtain the fullest possible accounting for America’s UNRETURNED VETERANS, our POW/MIAs
SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS FOR VETERANS AND VSOs

POW/MIA speakers for district meetings, state conventions and national events.
Booths at Meetings: Set up a table or booth at district, state or national meetings to distribute current factual POW/MIA information available from the League’s national office.
Community Parades: Carry a POW/MIA flag and/or construct a banner. Awareness materials for distribution and other suggestions are available from the League’s national office and website.
Counter misinformation with facts! Ask for proof from those who claim to have evidence of living US POWs. If provided, turn it over to responsible League and/or US officials.
