HOW YOU CAN HELP 
                     
                               
American public support is critical to achieving the League’s goal: the fullest possible accounting for those still missing, and repatriation of all recoverable remains of those who died serving our nation during the Vietnam War.

SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS FOR VETERANS…

          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.

          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. 
 
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.
