The Vietnam Vets MC state this on their website, " Our first and primary mandate is to do everything within our powers to bring our POW/MIA Brothers home and to insist that our Government demands accountability for each and every one of those patriots." More information can be had at

Neil, this is one big stain on our American flag. How or why our government left them is unfathomable. They have disgracefully been abandoned. There are several groups of patriots in the US,
Friends of the Forgotten, Vietnam Vets MC, Rolling Thunder, and Forget Me Not to name a few, who try to keep this issue in the news but their success is limited.
Hell, the Rolling Thunder ride in DC has turned into a party instead of what it was originally organized for, POW-MIA Awareness. As one of the original members (I held the office of Vice-President and was a member of the Board of directors) of Rolling Thunder PA and Friends of the Forgetton I was very active with the POW-MIA problem since 1990. I am proud of my active time with these groups but not proud of the fact that now I have become one of the apathetic, or just burned out, members of the US.

The US had dozens of F-86 planes shot down over North Korea and it has always been rumored that some of the pilots were shipped off to the old Soviet Union for interogation because the plane they were flying was a new jet and was shooting the tails off the Mig 15s. You would think that a country who donates money to every stupid cause on the planet would make this issue a priority but we seem to be more worried about offending the other governments around the world lately. In my opinion we need to go back to the policy of kicking ass and taking names!!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I hate the term "Police Action". Thousands upon thousands of people don't die in a Police Action.

Great link My question is why do we need so many Govt. funded orgnizations and why don't we combine them all with one goal in mind and that is to find all our MIA'S from every War. Wait my mistake that might make sense.

I really hope your Patriot Riders honour some of these lads....they may be dead over 50 years, but they're only coming home now.At the very least, keep them in your thoughts for a wee while.
