POW/MIA Remembrance Day
(Third Friday of September)

Thousands are still missing
From those Wars of the past
Slowly, some are coming home
To grieving Families, at last.

Some found in unmarked graves
On foreign lands across the sea
With the science of DNA
To reveal, their true identity.

JPAC was formed to find them
Around fourteen hundred, to date
And for loved ones seeking closure
It surely, never is, too late.

They think, forty thousand left
They might be able to recover
As they follow leads and tips
From, one country to another.

Some remains, may be lost forever
Like those Heroes, resting in the Deep
But, to bring those others home
Is a solemn promise, we must keep.

Itâ??s a very noble thing they do
As, they go, and search, and find
Those, who died for our Country
For, we must, leave no one behind.

Every year we have a special day
To, remember those still lost
To, renew that promise to them
No matter what, it may cost.

I enjoy the meetings when I am able to attend, and that isn't very often..........I miss this group. I would like to bring an update on a project that I am working on with the US Navy and Japan regarding a memorial honoring 53 US civilians that died in Camp 18 at Sesabo, Japan during World War II, I know that this is comprised mostly of Viet Nam era vets, in which I am a Viet Nam era vet, but I believe that this may e interesting to some of you at the meeting...........Hope to be able to attend and see you there.
