Due to circumstances beyond the League’s control, our Board of Directors voted unanimously in favor of the following MOTION:
“Whereas, Article V, Section 1, ANNUAL MEETING, of the League’s bylaws prescribes “an annual meeting of the voting members shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated by the board of directors…”, the board of directors has determined that such a meeting cannot be facilitated within the one-year period due to extraordinary logistical challenges and conflicting circumstances outside of its control. Therefore, the board will schedule an annual meeting at a time and place more convenient to its voting members while continuing to communicate essential business needs to the voting members.”
Anyone who had made arrangements to arrive in Omaha before DPAA’s Annual Government Briefings (AGB) on June 26th and 27th , please use this notice to cancel the extra Hilton DoubleTree reservations, as well as flights. We continue to stay focused on the fullest possible accounting of all those missing from the Vietnam war. While other organizations may be pivoting in search of a longer-term strategy, our mission is very clear! Rest assured that you have our continued commitment and resolve, and you will be hearing from us very soon regarding the 2025 Annual Meeting.

On this Medal of Honor Monday we honor American hero, Army Capt. Daniel Ken Inouye.
"Through heavy fire, Inouye led his platoon in the siege of an artillery and mortar post, which led to the capture of several enemy combatants. It also brought the platoon within 40 yards of the main hostile force before fire from three enemy machine gun nests hidden in bunkers and rock formations pinned them down. Disregarding his own safety, Inouye crawled up the treacherous ridge and, after getting to within 5 yards of one machine gun, tossed two grenades to destroy it. He then stood up and took out the second machine gun nest before the enemy could retaliate."
